I run Plasma (via pmos) on a pinephone and snappy is probably the last word I'd use to describe it.



Mostly based on Qt responsive Framework Kirigami https://api.kde.org/frameworks/kirigami/html/index.html . The GTK counterpart on Gnome Phosh (Phone Shell) was libhandy (https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/libhandy/), now for GTK4 merged to libadwaita (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libadwaita).


Yeah I think I ran an early build on a Pinephone and it was laggy. I’ve heard if you go Pinephone you have to go with the Pro version, because the previous model has no hardware support. Thus the poor quality software experience. Purism actually contributes to the software side so while it’s a bit lacking in quality, it is getting better with snappier ui and battery life.
