Xios Desktop (KDE Plasma)

xios-kde installs KDE Plasma for Xios: KWin plus three shells (Plasma Desktop, Plasma Mobile, and Plasma Nano), rendered on the GPU through the iosc compositor and ANGLE.

It pulls in the Qt 6 runtime, the KDE Frameworks 6 subset Plasma needs, KWin, System Settings, KScreen, PowerDevil, and the Breeze icons and style.

Every KDE app ported so far comes with it:

• Konsole — terminal
• Dolphin — file manager
• Kate and KWrite — editors
• KCalc — calculator
• Okular — documents
• Ark — archives
• Gwenview — images

After it installs, open the Xios app (Home Screen icon X11) and pick a session. Plasma Desktop is the pointer-and-panel layout you know from a Linux desktop; Plasma Mobile is touch-first and the more natural fit for an iPad. From the shell the same three are xios-session kde, kde-mobile, and kde-nano.

Plasma on Xios is newer than the GNOME flavor and still experimental, so expect rough edges, and file what you hit on GitHub.

About 610 MB installed. Requires iOS 16.5+, on a rootless jailbreak (/var/jb). The floor comes from KWin's DRM/GBM library chain.
