I tried using bazzite as a media PC and gave up after a couple of days, this isn’t even remotely something I want in my household.

try it on fast hardware and make up your own mind. good luck!

p.s.: plasma bigscreen isn’t available for public use and kodi and its derivatives should be tossed in the deepest volcanoes we got.

you should definitely pick up a oneplus 6 or POCO F1 or similar (8 GB RAM), they should be in the $50 range and play around with it. the OS will get better with participation and there’s a number of things you can do on there that’s downright impossible on Android. I’m just cautioning that it’s not a substitute; but neither was Linux not that long ago.

nowhere close to being daily driver material. and I don’t mean the esoteric stuff you mention (NFC, 5G, etc.) I mean just normal, everyday stuff, like you turn it on and it works. source: I own the fastest device supported by pmOS and no UI (gnome, phosh, plasma, etc) works even remotely acceptable.

this is a fun project to tinker with and marvel at some choices made but if you’re thinking you can switch, that’s simply not an item on the menu.

them guys are working on super-complex stuff with no funds to speak of and expecting anything resembling an OS that’s developed for close to two decades by the richest corporations in the world isn’t realistic.
