Good performance of Q4OS on a Pinebook

I have been using Q4OS on a Pinebook for the last week, and found it to be the fastest and most responsive of the different OS offered for the Pinebook by a long margin. I had found the default Ubuntu Mate very lethargic and Android on a laptop always feels misdirected.  It's been stable too, despite having managed to install a wide range of different programs. Well done to the Devs. I do have one question, how have you made Q4OS so much faster on the Pine64 platform than the other offerings?

Re: Good performance of Q4OS on a Pinebook

Q4OS is responsive thanks to make use of the Trinity DE stack, which is derived from KDE3. It would be nice, if we have resources enough to help to improve it, adapt it for modern standards and fix as many bugs as possible.
