I think Raspberry Pi will overheated, or could to make some Raspberry Pi Edition of Neon with "Plasma Lite Mode"? By the way Raspberry Pi is not power thing, it makes no sense.

Running Plasma in an Rpi 4 with 4Gb of RAM using Raspbian. So far so good but a bit outdated (plasma 5.14). I would love to see a neon spin for Rpi

The link doesn't work. Did you also created the repositories? Where can I found the seeds?

https://plasma-bigscreen.org has images for Rpi4 build on neon. Maybe you can join efforts?

It has been put up again at blufire.xyz

I installed neon myself following the first 4 steps from https://ubuntu.com/download/raspberry-pi/thank-you?version=18.04&versionPatch=.4&architecture=arm64+raspi3
Then,

wget -qO - 'http://archive.neon.kde.org/public.key' | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-add-repository http://archive.neon.kde.org/user
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install neon-desktop
sudo apt remove gnome-terminal

It works. Is there something else needed to have a proper Neon on a Raspberry Pi? E.g. I see some differences in /etc/apt/preferences.d/

I don't have a proper understanding about how neon works and the tooling used to build automatic images but it seems easy to provide (testing) images for Raspberry Pi. With the last Rpi 4 with 8Gb of memory it should work quite well.

With some guidance I can help to make it a reality

User edition repository has no arm64 packages any more, only for testing and unstable editions. Also, no neon-desktop package exists for testing, only for unstable edition.

Is there any reason for these changes?
