I have only really spent meaningful time with pmOS/Plasma, pmOS/Phosh, and Ubuntu Touch. Really struggled with Ubuntu Touch (especially can't sort the user name and root password, need to put a thread in the relevant sub-forum) and got a bit frustrated with the bits that crash/wont load, especially in setup screens. Yes I know we are testers ...
AND THE WINNER IS...
pmOS/Plasma just loved that keyboard, having an up arrow and a tab key makes things about twice as fast for me in a terminal. Sadly missing in pmOS/Phosh, but once I read the thread that said the demo image was ahead of the pmbootstrap version fell in love with it. SMS works out of the box, as does mobile data. Even phone calls. OK so there is no sound but that suits me, even if my partner is aggrieved
And then I started playing with 16 Feb version of KDE Neon and I am again undecided.
1 little stat I am watching is memory used in htop straight after boot. pmOS/phosh 297M, Ubuntu Touch 835M, KDE Neon 488M.
