But as a single "Consumer Novice" then it is probably "NO"
though a few may 'pick-up' on the subject,
Many are going to be disappointed and some are going to be very frustrated.
bcnaz, i get your point.
BTW, i am that "Consumer Novice" you mentioned. Using Ubuntu as my primary for years and learning as i go. I don't know a lot, but i can keep it running okay. Mostly :-)
So there may be a grey area where someone new to linux, coming to it with curiosity and patience would find the PBP a perfect launch point. I'd like to support that. And i agree with you about keeping expectations real
My motivation comes from my strong distaste of Microsoft & Google. I have been using Linux 98.5% of the time for over twenty years.
I use synaptic to fix most of my problems, I only use terminal when I can find precise step by step instructions.
Same with me.

I think you can try compiling the PC version image of OpenHarmonyOS 5 or 5.1 |
