Vivaldi: Make * Play * Live
summary
KDE is building a full stack: Plasma Active UI components with QtQuick/QML, a Contour activity shell, and a Mir reference OS delivering open and hackable devices. Concrete results: an eBook reader cloned from Okular in two days, RSS and microblog apps sharing 95% same code across desktop and tablet, and weekly Mir snapshots that boot on some Android-based hardware by reusing Android kernels. Roadblocks are real: vendor hardware revisions break builds, requiring work like ported drivers from 2.6.32 and delaying the planned preinstalled tablet.
