It was the Gnome and KDE desktop environments that I've had the issue with. That has been brought up by basically everyone at this point.
Yes - both desktops - KDE & Gnome - have their edges and korners at the moment
Beside my PinePhone I've converted a Google Nexus 5 to "Ubuntu Touch" and I've to admit its the most stable and also the fastest linux mobile-system at the moment IMHO. I've tested the Nexus in "convergence"-mode also and it works pretty well (using the rigth hdmi-Adapter
).So whats the difference between "Nexus/Ubuntu Touch" and "PinePhone/Gnome/KDE"?
I think one major diference is that canonical did a lot of integration/optimization on hardware/driver-software for "Ubuntu Touch".
Its not the hardware that makes it faster - Nexus 5 and UbuntuPhone are on par related to hardware-specification.
So maybe we should do the same for "PinePhone/Gnome/KDE" .....
Any other ideas how to move forward from here?
