Supported variants?

Tue Oct 23, 2012 4:27 pm
Looking at the wiki page for Plasma Active (which is half-updated right now, but I guess that's normal since the third release happened very recently), I can see that there's a Mer-based Plasma Active and a Kubuntu-based Plasma Active noted there. Are these distributions the only ones supported by Plasma Active for the x86 platform right now? (Though, as Plasma Active is a plasma workspace, I guess the question should rather be "Are these the only distributions that support Plasma Active" :D ) And what happened with open-slx? They don't appear to have images for Plasma Active 3.

As a side note, I'm a bit disappointed that I can run neither Kubuntu Active nor Mer Active on my tablet at the moment. Mer kernel panics, and Kubuntu, despite having a perfectly working Plymouth, crashes the X server... I guess I should write about that upstream, though.

I asked one of the Plasma Active developers, who let me know the following:
Yes, those are the only distros with support at the moment. not because we don't want more, only because we can only support so many ourselves.

I see. Though I'm still curious why open-slx was dropped. But I don't mind that, as long as there is something on regular GNU/Linux distributions, it's fine.

By the way, what kernel version does the image of Plasma Active on Mer x86 use?

I have the image installed on my tablet and I just checked. uname -r gives:

3.0.0-1.2-adaptation-pc
