EDIT: And now that I think back on it the reason I gave up on my KDE4Pi2 project was because I found a bug report for the right click problem that had been open for something like a year (maybe it was several months) and I'm just not that patient of a person. That was ARMHF though and I see they're more into the mobile side of things now, so maybe the situation has improved.
KDE Plasma is a lot leaner now, and even run pretty well on the Pinebook 1080. I was initially skeptical, too, as my last experience with KDE was late v3/early v4 and it was not low spec friendly. Apparently Plasma came with a huge push to slim down and speed up.
The only issues I've noticed is on occasion custom icons won't show, but they come back on a reboot. The only performance issues I've noticed have been from programs pushing the little laptop to its limits, KDE has yet to freeze mine up. I think with the better specs in the PBP, KDE will be a top DE choice.
