From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Might be time to haul the Pinephone back out.

Not official but I've seen. A handful of users post about it in the chatroom

Edit - crap, I swore there was a plasma build... Phosh only ... Sorry

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Two new change proposals have been filed for enhancing the KDE offerings with this autumn's Fedora 41 release.

First, there is a proposal to offer a new Fedora Spin using KDE Plasma Mobile.

Similarly, a Fedora Kinoite Mobile Bootable Container image is also proposed as part of that.

Some find success as well using KDE Plasma Mobile on 2-in-1 laptop devices too.

Those are the newest Fedora 41 change proposals for that feature release due out in October.

These changes still need to be approved by the Fedora Engineering and Steering Committee (FESCo) in the coming weeks.

Lutris? As far as I know, Wine doesn't work on ARM. Unless they're targeting x86 with mobile shape form.

Lutris isn't only for wine. Its also a launcher for Linux native/flatpak games.

There's quite a few ways to get x86_64 running on ARM.

Are qemu / qemu user static and fex the main/active two these days?

[–] Rustmilian 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Yes. But also :

Early development, but it'll get there eventually and we won't need a VM like qemu, or an emulator layer like Fex with driver mapping tricks (Asahi Linux) or Box86/64.
