Jack Wallen takes an early look at Plasma Mobile, the joint effort of Purism and KDE to bring mobile Linux to the masses: http://bit.ly/2EN93lj pic.twitter.com/P0CV3D0GdF
That article is riddled with inaccuracies. Basing on @HaliumProject does not "further limit the number of supported devices". Halium (a collaboration project of @kdecommunity and @UBports) is a standardized implementation of Libhybris and other components to make porting (...)
(...) classic Linux distributions to Android devices easier and more collaborative. If anything, the number of devices Plasma Mobile supports was increased by the introduction of Halium, and we will see more devices in the future.
Also, Ubuntu Touch did not "die a silent death", it's alive and kicking at @UBports: http://ubuntu-touch.io
Ubuntu Touch is about a lot more than just scopes, stating it was "doomed before it touched down on its first piece of hardware" is wrong and misleading, (...)
(...) considering six different commercial devices were sold over the years, and to this day it remains the only classic Linux distribution ready for daily use. It has its issues, and the scopes concept is no longer at the center of attention today, but it's definitely not dead!
Don't get me wrong, this is not just me plugging the project i work for. I understand (and appreciate) that @LinuxDotCom covers Purism and Plasma Mobile here, and not Ubuntu Touch. But spreading that UT was dead, that will not help improving Linux on mobile devices... @jlwallen
And to add to that everyone seems to have forgotten about @JollaHQ and SailfishOS ;)
Yeah, but with Sailfish OS being neither open source nor built from traditional Linux packages, i could see more of a reason to not include it. But my criticism wasn't based so much on the article not giving Ubuntu Touch recognition, but stating that it's dead, which is untrue.
It's partially open source :/ but I agree
This official Jolla graphic tells a different story: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=sailfish+os+architecture&t=canonical&iax=images&ia=images&iai=https%3A%2F%2Fsailfishos.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2016%2F02%2FSailfish_Architecture.jpg … A product does not qualify as open source, just because some free components were used to build it. Wherever it is possible, the SFOS source-code stays proprietary.
Oh my God! Knowledge is wrong as we know it! Thanks for enlightening me! Can't wait for UBPorts or KDE Plasma on Xiaomi Redmi Note 4
