They should copy the touch controls setup uf Magic Dosbox. Infact, every emulator with touch controls should do that.

I like that it has touchscreen controls, great for GNU/Linux mobile 🎮📱

This was developed mainly for Plasma Mobile

Nice! This looks really slick (dang, I sound old). I’m going to have to download and try it out. Keep up the good work!

I love KDE and what they’re doing, but why?

I think anyone is allowed to develop a KDE app. You have to go through a process to get accepted for the branding I think. But it not like they spent paid employee time on this afaik.

This is an independent project for fun.

Because the developer wants to, most importantly. And because choice is always a good thing.
So many of these developers are in it out of passion and aren't really being paid. And if part of that passion is working on the other projects that fall within their passions in their spare time. So be it. If they were paid developers and not meeting their goals, that's a whole different story.
Honestly, I would like to see KDE touch and plasma mobile advanced and refined more. But that only means that if I have the skills to help myself I should. Or provide the funds so someone can focus on it. Most of these developers don't owe us anything to get us the other way around.

I wish they’d create an easy to setup version of KDE touch/plasma mobile to be run on Android in a proot container (either like termux or in termux).
I think that would be really cool if you could use a decent touch-first/mobile UI to run Linux apps in Android.

I hear you, but if there’s someone who likes KDE and emulation and wants to do this who are you/ we to stop them?
