Let’s take a look! + +### KDE Apps for ARM: An Exciting Development! + +You can find KDE apps on various repositories, Flatpak, and the Snap store. + +And, KDE chose the Snap store to publish its first Snap for ARM64. + +In other words, KDE applications are making their way as a Snap to the ARM platform. + +Of course, it makes sense for an application to support a variety of platforms and various distributions, all from a single store. + +The first Snap available for ARM64 is [kblocks][2]. + +![][3] + +Considering that it is a classic falling blocks game, and a fun idea, it may not be a big deal for the ARM platform. + +However, if you have a Raspberry Pi or a PinePhone Pro, it should be a good indication to expect more KDE apps optimized for the ARM platform available through the Snap store. + +### The Future with ARM Chips + +Considering the early developments for the ARM platform, I’d say it is good progress when compared to the number of devices available. + +As of now, the Raspberry Pi users and the PinePhone pro users can immediately benefit from new KDE applications. + +As we start to see more ARM-powered devices or laptops, you should expect almost everyone to start prepping for ARM. + +Hopefully, the Linux platform and its applications will be ready for the ARM platform when the time comes. + +We should avoid a situation like Apple’s M1 series, where the performance makes a big difference without having a proper app ecosystem available. + +_What do you think about KDE apps available as a Snap for ARM64? Assuming you have a Raspberry Pi or PinePhone Pro, what do you expect for its future?_ + +Let me know your thoughts in the comments below. + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://news.itsfoss.com/kde-apps-arm/ + +作者：[Ankush Das][a] +选题：[lujun9972][b] +译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://news.itsfoss.com/author/ankush/ +[b]: https://github.com/lujun9972 +[1]: https://news.itsfoss.com/falkon-browser-3-2-release/ +[2]: https://snapcraft.io/kblocks +[3]: data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyBoZWlnaHQ9IjUxNSIgd2lkdGg9Ijc1NCIgeG1sbnM9Imh0dHA6Ly93d3cudzMub3JnLzIwMDAvc3ZnIiB2ZXJzaW9uPSIxLjEiLz4=
