I tried (on PineTab2) kde, kde plasma, gnome, phosh and sxmo.
I didn't expected it, but I really like sxmo a lot because
1. I don't get disorientated when trying to switch between apps
2. I don't have to resize (non-mobile) apps
3. It's easily possible to run an application in fullscreen
Actually it is a really clever design and I think it might be worth to learn how to use it.
However, there is not a device configuration file for PineTab2 yet and I didn't succeed to make a fully-working one.
I managed to get the volume buttons to work like this:
Creating a /usr/bin/sxmo_deviceprofile_pine64,pinetab2-v2.0.sh file with this content:
(and making it executable!)
and within the directory with the devices profiles:
and reboot.
But I failed to get the power button to work in a sane way (like when I pressed it, it continuosly spawned a terminal and other weird things) and unfortunately didn't have enough time for it to dig deeper, so I'm back at phosh for now.
