Haven't tried to boot other distros or installing kde but I must admit I like the ubuntu OS better. Easier to get mainline kernel up and running from ayufans git and performance is solid so far!
Currently compiling nextcloud client from source since armhf version isn't available but looking good.
Using the Ubuntu 18.04 available in the forum and run off a micro-SD card, has been an exceptionally pleasant affair.
Another way to run a different OS in a self contained environment, so I don't have to mess with the eMMC Debian, factory supplied OS.
Since I use Lubuntu 18.04 LTS (although not MATE) on my Linux laptop, it gives me a chance to see how the same OS'es work on the different computers....Results so far are solidly positive. Since I'm not "testing" to the limits some are, haven't found all the problems. So far there just aren't any meaningful ones...
My goal has been to use the PBP as an "everyday driver" It's proving to be highly competent :-)
