I have decided to try out Voidlinux on my Pinetab2, replacing the factory Archlinux I had installed until now. When I finished, I found that the same Plasma 6 desktop is much more responsive, with a significantly lower memory footprint. Maybe this is due to musl vs glibc, but it also might be that I have missed some memory-intensive services. Also note that I am using my old Archlinux home folder on the new Voidlinux system, and everything works.
So, here is my experience with this migration. I hope it will help others that want to migrate or try Voidlinux, so you can avoid bricking the Pinetab2 in the process, like I did.
At this stage I still have Voidlinux-related stuff to fix, but the base system and KDE/Plasma works.
Thanks on exploring viodlinux on PineTab2.
