Ok, a little more rooting around in the guts of the LXDE distro.
gvfs-backends and gvfs-fuse are missing, which is why PCmanFM won't auto-mount. It also adds in the trash can
For wifi, since I'm back on LXDE, I also was able to configure wifi via `sudo ntmui`. I was able to get the network connections preferences entry installed by installing the `network-manager-gnome` package, but It does not appear to be working properly as in it asks me what network type I want to configure, and then appears to promptly crash. I suspecting it's permission related by can't be certain. It does actually crash. Running it manually via the terminal `nm-connection-editor` results it it starting, and soon as I make a choice or try to edit an existing connection it gets a Segmentation Fault.
Went back to 0.5.15 xenial mate, odd... lot slower than I thought it was, but for some incidental light usage it works fine considering the overhead and lack of full driver support. Rather strange that the pinebook feels a lot more responsive that the rock64 though with a DE installed.
@zet_lab Unfortunately, if you want graphics, you need to use Android. I suspect as good as the rockchip guys are at providing the kernel and driver source, there is still the minor issue of driver binary blobs making it so us mere linux users can't get the most out of the hardware.
