However once that is done, the touch panel works great, I have it running under armbian at the moment.
Help me out here because I'm a bit unsure what you are saying. I'm under the impression that Armbian is headless. How would the touch panel even be relevant in that environment?
There is nothing stopping you running a DE/GUI on Armbian - in fact they documented the steps to install a simple desktop environment here. However, these are the generic instructions - the Pine64 specific stuff has been documented by tkaiser here.
And as far as relevance... it would be great to be have a information display with system load, uptime, network address, service status, etc... just one possibility...
