You would have to be extremely strongly motivated to use this as your primary desktop OS, and frankly, it's too much trouble as a secondary one.
But without really knowing what I was doing, in an artificially-simple scenario (whole drive installation, no dedicated GPU, etc.), after a trial run long enough ago that I've forgotten the precise details, it worked. No network cable, no handbook or manual open (or immediately apparent to me), and it took 3 goes, but it did work and I didn't have to compile anything.
As Charlie says: it's a good 20+ years behind Linux, still.
