I've been testing out these OSes now for a day or so. It seems to me that Ubuntu works the best. Sailfish just doesn't work for me. PMOS and Manjaro have the best looking terminal, which I appreciate, but of them Manjaro has all the apps for the terminal. I installed moc, yay, vim, lynx and so on. The problem with manjaro is that it doesn't seem to go to sleep, so you can't really take it anywhere. Also if you (accidentally) press the button on the side it will turn off. I would use it for now as a sort of retro PDA if it had the sleep (and power management!). It seems to me that the connectivity on all of the above OSes is a bit touch and go. I got it working pretty ok with manjaro with "nmcli con up id "WifiID" --ask" and toggling "nmcli networking off" and "nmcli networking on". But the UI for wifi is not trustworthy yet. On UBtouch you can turn the airplane mode on and off and then the wifi will never come back.
If someone knows how to get the UBtouch terminal up to par with what PMOS and Manjaro have, then UBtouch would probably be the winner for now.
EDIT: What I mean with the terminal is that to have a useful terminal you need to have something like 70 characters wide, and the arrow keys have to be easy to get to. If I remember correctly PMOS had the best way of showing the arrows, the CTRL + C and so on and the special characters like | and ~
EDIT2: It seems that you cant install stuff on UB terminal? "failed to fetch ports.ubuntu.com/etc/etc/" It recommends running apt update, which doesn't fix the issue.
