What would be the right Pinephone OS for me? (mainly from Ubuntu background dev)
#4
Agree that Meg's (Megous) multi-distro is useful for checking out the various OS's.  (https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=11347)  

Mobian is Debian based and is one of the more functional OS's for the PP so would think it would have much that is familiar to you if you're comfortable with using "apt" based package installation.  Manjaro is also one of the more functional distros on the PP but will probably require learning new command line syntax.

Unless I'm mistaken UBPorts presently lags behind some of the other Pinephone distros but other folks may be able to expand on that further as I am not fully up to date on its status.

Would suggest searching the forum for key words such as "convergence", "dock", "hub", and other similar terms since you indicate you are primarily interested in the "dock-computing" aspect.

The forum's "Search" is your friend.  Welcome and good luck.

ps haven't seen recent posts from @bcnaz but in the past he has had a multitude of useful insights and experience in basic usage of the phone and
current status of its functionality although possibly not specifically on PP-PC convergence issues.
