Your impression appears to sum it up: Ubuntu is ahead on this front 
at the present time. Lack of touch support in KDE Plasma would make 
it uninteresting for 99% of mobile device users. Let's hope there 
will be more interest in the near future, as the hardware will 
undoubtedly continue to become smaller and more powerful.

I am not about to abandon my desktop computer yet: I require a 
large monitor and a platform with the ability to run qemu and other 
full-scale applications that would certainly be tedious on present-
day mobile devices.

Thanks for the response :-)
