Detailed Description
Built on the foundations of KDE Plasma Desktop, KDE Plasma Mobile brings its flexibility to a mobile form factor. Although originally geared towards phones, the touch friendly interface works very well on tablets and 2-in-1 laptops.
We propose to create a Fedora KDE Plasma Mobile spin and the corresponding Atomic variant: Kinoite Mobile (only Bootable Container images, no classic ostree variant).
Feedback
Feedback has been positive thus far. As KDE Plasma Mobile has taken shape in Fedora, more and more people have asked for a spin so it is easier to setup on their machines.
Benefit to Fedora
KDE Plasma Mobile will give Fedora a strong showing in the mobile market. Many other distributions that targeted the mobile market have concentrated on cellphones. We believe that by targeting all touchscreen devices, we can bring more users into the Fedora community.
Scope
- Proposal owners:
- Spin configuration:
- Work with RelEng to build:
- Test Day coordination:
- Other developers: N/A
- Release engineering: Will submit issue once this is approved. #Releng issue number
- Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change)
- Trademark approval: Will submit issue once this is approved.
- Alignment with the Fedora Strategy: Yes.
Upgrade/compatibility impact
N/A (not a System Wide Change)
How To Test
Proper Fedora KDE Plasma Mobile Spin:
1. Boot the Fedora KDE Plasma Mobile Spin ISO image either on bare-metal or in a virtual machine (V.M.).
2. Confirm successful boot into a configured KDE Plasma Mobile environment with basic packages available.
3. Launch Anaconda installer.
4. Confirm no major issues with windows and display. The installed system uses sddm as the login manager and comes preinstalled with KDE Plasma Mobile as the default desktop environment and with default applications present for most use cases.
Repeat with Kinoite Mobile.
User Experience
Users are able to consume KDE Plasma Mobile from https://spins.fedoraproject.org instead of installing another desktop and then manually installing KDE Plasma Mobile after the initial installation. Similarly for Kinoite Mobile.
The Spin should remain as minimal as possible and only include small supplements on top of making the default configuration workable. We should make the user experience as easy and simple as possible without defining too many opinions.
Dependencies
N/A (not a System Wide Change)
Contingency Plan
- Contingency mechanism: Push this off to the next Fedora release
- Contingency deadline: Beta Freeze
- Blocks release? No
Documentation

Release Notes
This release brings the Fedora KDE Plasma Mobile Spin and its corresponding Atomic variant: Kinoite Mobile. Built on the foundations of KDE Plasma Desktop, KDE Plasma Mobile and Kinoite Mobile bring its flexibility to a mobile form factor. Although originally geared towards phones, the touch friendly interface works very well on tablets and 2-in-1 laptops.
