Packages can be installed by “apt-get install packagename”.

Seahorsepip Veteran Posted February 2, 2016 Veteran Share Posted February 2, 2016 Somehow plasma always looks like it's 5 years behind the current design trend... I don't see this having any chance on being succesfull, even ubuntu phone hasn't got the succes it wanted which I assume had a lot more developers and a bigger budget.
