its ok, i am not a linux noob and i am having similar problems, it is not you.
I dont even see a toolbar at the top of the screen indicating battery, signal etc that one would expect based on screenshots.
WIFI also worked once then stopped.
USB connection between dock and handset is BAD....
I understood this was a community developers edition product but.....
I didn't have any trouble closing things on KDE, but do yourself a favor: Put Mobian on an SD card and use that. It is light years ahead of KDE Plasma in terms of functionality.
I just got my phone last week and Mobian has a few issues I've found but it seems more than capable of being my primary phone.
The Mobian app (called "Software") for installing new apps and updates is one of the things not currently working for me, so my advice is to just run Mobian from the SD card for now and not install it to the phone's internal storage until things stabilize a bit.
Also note: You may find is the interface is a bit sluggish. I think that can be mostly explained due to running from the SD card instead of the internal storage, but it could be due to the software's immaturity.
