But in the following video it looks quiet usable starting from 5:15 in the video.

It is Arch Linux ARM with LXDE on PinePhone Pro.

“

• This is Arch Linux ARM with LXDE running on the PinePhone Pro.

• IT IS NOT a mobile environment.
• However with some tweaks, it is possible to make it usable on a mobile device.
• To accomplish this, I took the mtev input driver from ArchAndroid then compile it for aarch64 and installing a desktop environment of my choice.
• This setup (starting from barebone image) only took a few hours.

You can get the modified mtev driver below:
