      Plasma mobile pine phone rice

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE_Plasma

      Plasma (also known as Plasma Desktop) is a graphical shell developed by KDE for Unix-like operating systems. Plasma is a standard desktop interface. It was declared mature with the release of KDE SC 4.2. It is designed for desktop PCs and larger laptops. In its default configuration, it resembles KDesktop from K Desktop Environment 3 and Microsoft Windows XP; however, extensive configurability allows radical departures from the default layout.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PinePhone

      The PinePhone is a smartphone developed by Hong Kong-based computer manufacturer Pine64, intended to allow the user to have full control over the device. Measures to ensure this are: running mainline Linux-based mobile operating systems, assembling the phone with screws, and simplifying the disassembly for repairs and upgrades. LTE, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and both cameras can be physically switched off. The PinePhone ships with the Manjaro Linux operating system using the Plasma Mobile graphic interface, although other distributions can be installed by users.

      “Rice” isn’t a technical term. It’s a reference to “ricing”, derived from “rice rockets”, inexpensive Asian cars that are heavily modified with things like spoilers and LED lighting and whatever to look glitzy. A “rice” is the result of “ricing” something.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice_burner

      Rice burner is a pejorative term originally applied to Japanese motorcycles and which later expanded to include Japanese cars or any East Asian-made vehicles.[2][3][4][5] Variations include rice rocket, referring most often to Japanese superbikes, rice machine, rice grinder or simply ricer.[3][6][7]

      Details:

      Overall it works well for a PDA/music player. Bluetooth still falls short of expectations, but issues are almost always resolved with restarting the service.

      It really is a shame that this OS is such a niche in the mobile ecosystem. The potential is endless.

      Many thanks to all the developers that put the time in to make cool things.

      • Kali linux (unofficial)
      • Added Mobian repos
      • Replaced phosh with plasma-mobile
      • Nunchuk paddleboat is now deprecated
