Being more like android is a mixed bag. it’s familiar for me and it makes it easier to understand out of the box, but it also is an outdated ui design to me. I think that being held back by what people thought was good for a smartphone ui over a decade ago isn’t the best way to go right now. That said though I think that it might be a smart choice and makes sense for kde, and it doesn’t feel out of place considering how much desktop kde is similar to windows.

I used Ubuntu Touch for one year on a 2014 OnePlus One phone, until its touchscreen crapped on me last Fall. The phone was already pretty banged up when I got it from eBay. This gesture-based UI feels natural, very quickly.
I’ve been testing Plasma Mobile on a Pinephone, as well as Mobian/Phosh. Hoping I don’t start a flame war, but I agree Plasma Mobile feels like an Android knock-off… So far, Plasma feels very nice though! Much more than Phosh, which feels bland. But Mobian/Phosh seems the most stable of the two, there are apps missing as well on Plasma (a system monitor for example).
I love Lomiri, but Ubuntu Touch has shortcomings by design that aren’t suitable for me. For now, Lomiri is only available on Manjaro (apart from UT), and is still in Alpha stage. I’m hopeful it will be ported to more distros in the long run.
