"Downstream Plasma Active

Some distributions provide Images with Plasma Active for x86 Systems."


As one of the main KDE distribution, I think both Mageia and KDE could benefit if Plasma Active was included as a package in the Mageia repositories as a functioning testing package. Could help Plasma Active gain developing interest, could help Mageia in providing a different desktop environment for netbooks. It is different than KDE Netbooks interface, in my opinion, far more interesting.

It could gap some bridges between Mageia as a purely desktop relevant distribution and is also interesting in the context of QT, QML and further KDE integration.

Perhaps, hopefully one day Mageia will ship an arm/armel port :)


For me, Mageia is also an interesting distribution and possible competitor to Debian as a core Linux distribution in the future. Who knows. Just thinking freely here..

I have tried Fedora and can't stand it. Slow, limited, difficult and buggy. Compared to Mandriva which I found fast (with KDE!), unlimited, easy and stable.


Reproducible:

Assigning this request to the KDE maintainers and CC'ing AL13N, who is eager to try Mageia on his Jolla phone ;-)

closing as for now i don't see how we can package, use, add it, etc.

Maybe later but not sure at all.
