Unfortunately, this is really, completely, absolutely not into my
budget....

Yes, it really would be a good alternative, but when will it be
available ? In one year, two years ? Which hardware do we need aside
this card ? Is it powerful enough to become a home desktop computer,
running Plasma 5, Kodi, and such big applications ?

Does no one here has managed to buy a good freedom-respectful desktop
computer for less than 1200 $ ?
