Hey #plasmamobile users, what role is it playing in your life? Is it a on a secondary device? Are you daily driving it? Is it something you simply want to support in the hope it will one day be the only thing in your pocket? What distro are you using?

@zahntron Mostly I use it to test my own QtQuick stuff because it fits in nicely due to also being Qt.

@DrewNaylor How cool! Are you developing anything or contributing to something for plasma mobile?

@zahntron Not really, it's supposed to be in its own environment eventually.

@zahntron I don't particularly like showing off but since you want to see it, it's called Retiled and it's located here: https://codeberg.org/DrewNaylor/Retiled

This is an attempt at making a Windows Phone 8.x-style environment for mainly Linux phones.

Retiled

An attempt at creating a "desktop" environment mainly for Linux phones and tablets that's similar in function to some parts of Microsoft's Windows Phone 8.x, primarily the Start screen, Search app, navigation bar, Action Center, and the status bar. Testing is mainly being done using the PinePhone...

@DrewNaylor This looks awesome. I had an Asus tablet with a Windows 8 on it back in the day and you know I really enjoyed this interface. It just always needed to be on a better OS than Windows haha Thanks for sharing!

@zahntron Thank you. Yeah, I heard it was really good on tablets, though I only used desktop 8 on non-touch computers but did use Windows Phones for a few years. Sadly that's less time than I've had a smartphone at this point. You're welcome.
