Tbh, I'm still super impressed with smoothness of KDE Plasma5 on
PostMarketOS on such an old phone (Samsung Galaxy A300FU). Truly an achievement. Of course it is far from optimal (e.g notifications can clutter the screen and their close button are out of bound of the display).
Well done @kde@floss.social , @kde@lemmy.kde.social and @postmarketOS
Always great to see old hardware getting a second shot at life.
@henfredemars Yeah, although it is not fully a "second life" as some stuff are not functional enough on this device including:
1. adjusting screen brightness
2. connecting to wifi
3. changing orientation is laggy
I also have not tried texting or calling.
Excellent. I still can’t find a version to load on my Samsung SM-T510 tablet though. Released 2019 so designed 2018. It’s not that old.
It’s so slow, you’d think it was clockwork.
And I hate to just bin it.
@Mehrad @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social @postmarketOS postmarketOS stable I assume? Just wait till you get #Plasma6 (either in next stable or current edge)
@bart
Correct, the PmOS Stable is what I have installed, hoping that the experience is more solid and "stable", although even the lock screen is far from "stable":

Do you think that in #Plasma6 these notifications are resized to the screen size and the experience would be smoother?
Regardless, thank you for all the efforts by you, @kde, and @postmarketOS teams.
@Mehrad @kde @postmarketOS I don't know. You'll just have to give it a shot!
