> If you want to use it as a daily driver, you're probably going to run into some headaches
This all depends on the hardware you bring to the table. A random Acer laptop with a questionable ACPI table is probably going to have problems, but a previous-gen Thinkpad X1 should be great because that's what the devs use.
> you're not going to find a lot of the software you might normally use
This really depends on your use cases – I can do most of the development I want on my OpenBSD laptop. But there are some gaps, absolutely.
> The performance is not great and battery life is not very good.
Harder to argue this one. It's getting better release by release, though :)
