Hello everyone,
I have posted a lengthy description of my experience with my new Pine64 running mate desktop over at mate forums (https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/pine-64-...-mate/4775).
In short, I can see the potential of the board serving as a desktop computer for someone with limited needs. I found the mate desktop very responsive on the Pine64 and had no problems working overnight on it as if it was a stationary PC. Browsing the web makes for a good experience using the Midori browser (nothing else works) and imbedded videos play-back fine in 360p.
Take a look at my post if you are considering using the Pine 64 as a backup/secondary desktop.
Take care !
Luke
