Getting Plasma Mobile

Nura (formerly postmarketOS), is an Alpine Linux-based distribution for mobile devices. View the device list to see the progress for supporting your device.

For devices that do not have prebuilt images, you will need to flash it manually using the pmbootstrap utility. Follow the installation guide. Be sure to also check the device's wiki page for more information on what is working.

postmarketOS also provides a nightly repository that tracks Plasma development, and is used by developers.

Debian provides a basic set of packages related to plasma-mobile.

Thanks to the efforts of the developers of Mobian (a mobile derivative of Debian), flashable images with the Plasma Mobile environment (with a choice of the stable Mobian release, and weekly-generated images from the testing branch) are available.

Instructions to manually install Plasma Mobile on existing Debian systems can be found on the Debian wiki.

openSUSE is a Linux distribution sponsored by SUSE Linux GmbH and other companies. Currently openSUSE provides Tumbleweed-based Plasma Mobile builds for the PinePhone.

Fedora has an official Plasma Mobile spin, with the shell and related applications packaged in their repositories.

You can also install the plasma-mobile package on existing installations of Fedora.

While Nura is tailored for mobile platforms, it also targets x86_64 devices.
