Plasma Mobile - A grain of hope in a sandstorm of despair
I am really happy that Plasma Mobile exists. It's a natural continuation of an excellent desktop environment. But the technicals have never been a problem. Not so with Ubuntu or any other operating system. That's never the issue. The app ecosystem is all that matters. And that will take monumental effort and investment to achieve, if ever.
The early tech demonstrator is an interesting project, but it's not dazzling enough yet to create sufficient interest in Plasma as a mobile platform. Matching the rivals is a zero-sum game. People already have Android and iOS. Those needs are met. But perhaps, Plasma Mobile can do more? After all, a tiny hobbyist kernel created in early 90s became the powerhouse of the modern Internet and cloud infrastructure. It's difficult to predict how well will Plasma Mobile do. Let's hope it will be more than a checkbox on an enthusiasm sheet of dashed hopes. Full power on, engage.
