Has anyone used such a system as a "daily driver"?

What do you need to do in order to boot a normal distro such as Debian or such? How does it stand from the perspective of user/software freedom? What sorts of proprietary sh#ts does it need to be usable? What sorts of compromises that may not be obvious at first glance?

Also how does it "feel" day to day?

I remember seeing this video a bit over a year ago: RISC-V Week: 7 days only using RISC-V computers. I'm not sure how far along these SoCs have come, but I imagine the current state of the art is somewhat improved from 18 months ago.
