Yes.

I nave not looked at Ubuntu Phone, but that means Wayland, and that
means 3D acceleration -- and that's just not doable.

There's also Nemo, which looks quite cool, but that's also Qt, new
versions need Qt5, and that means 3D acceleration -- and not doable,
again.

So it looks like ofone is the best way to go... Its said, because I'd
hope for something better, but at least this way I may get some users
for ofone? :-).

Best regards,
