I also have an RPi2. I can confirm that although the desktop experience is slow, it does work. No need to worry about RAM in this case. I know somebody IRL who uses it as his main desktop computer, and we never had any problems except for compiling C++.
Not sure what DE is default though; this guy may have been using Xfce or MATE for all I know.

Anyway, desktop on RPi works, but is a bit slow.
