KDE's Plasma Active Ported To Nexus 7

sfcrazy writes "KDE developers have succeeded in running the touch-optimized Plasma Active Linux Distribution on Nexus 7. Earlier Ubuntu developers managed to create a installer for Nexus 7, but those builds also showed that Unity, in its current form, is not ready for touch-based devices. KDE has an edge here as they have optimized versions for netbooks, desktops and touch-based devices so a user doesn't have to make any compromises as one has to do with other DEs or shells which are focusing more in touch-based devices only." Here are detailed instructions on how to install it.

    KDE is probably the best option for anyone using mouse and keyboard.

    And every time I fire up a KDE machine I'm like, "Hey-heyyy! Welcome to 1998!"
