duo-de [surface-duo desktop experience]

This is a GSI variant rom build targetted for Microsoft Surface Duo with the intention of using the Surface Duo as a desktop environment using experimental floating window features. This build combines gapps/vanila variants of the GSI rom from ponces with desktop mode enabled + various tweaks to make it nice and smooth with the help of thain tweaks. All credits go to respective developers. Desktop mode can be disabled from the home settings.
