Hi,

I just want to mention that Fedora 28 KDE works fantastically on this device.

Few configurations needed to get the hardware good with stock kernel 4.16 after stock ISO installation:
- copy the touchscreen config file (https://github.com/stockmind/gpd-poc.../40-touch.conf) to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-touch.conf to rotate it
- copy the xorg config file to rotate the login screen (https://github.com/stockmind/gpd-poc...0-monitor.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-monitor.conf)
- run two scripts (alsa.sh and fix_wifi.sh here: https://github.com/e-minguez/gpd-pocket-fedora) to enable wifi and audio/mic
- in KDE Displays menu, rotate the screen and set scale factor to 1.7

I'm using it as my daily machine connected to an external screen and USB hub. Very snappy and incredible battery life (10 hours or so?!?).

Extra tip: install the ScrollAnywhere addon in Firefox, it makes it easy to browse the web with the touchscreen.
