     Haven't heard of this new OS so far. Who is the owner an on which devices can it be acquired?

     Thank you for your reply. No, I hadn't heard of Plasma.
     I've tried MS alternatives repeatedly, but neither Linux (2 business SW apps explicitly do not support Linux) and #LibreOffice is either too unstable with my many old #Word docxs I use as templates , not really compatible with my HP printer (keeps losing the settings every time) or no alternative for...

     @HistoPol @pojntfx you probably heard of the OS: it is a "normal" linux distro. So there is no owner at all. There are for example @postmarketOS and @mobian but a few others too. And it is still in the development so expect it to be incomplete and rough at some edges. The best phones probably are OnePlus 6(T), PinePhone (Pro) and Librem 5 but many others work more or less and are getting better. For more follow the #LinuxMobile hashtag or check out some projects.

     ...advanced high-performing Excel applications.--So, no go on the PC 4 me.

     Re/ the smartphone, I have been looking for a very stable(!) replacement OS for 2 older Samsung smartphones, which will not update anymore (OS + many apps).

     Dead end so far, too.

     Plasma Mobile will therefore not be for me either, as it isn't really reliable for what I'm reading.

     Now I'm lost. Felicitas is clearly showing it on her smartphone.
     What is a #KDE then? An OS add-on?

     @HistoPol @pojntfx fyi: Plasma is not an OS. It is a desktop environment (also known as KDE).
