Sure you do! Although…
I can run in on my desktop because its awesome. Basically to run nemo you just need either mainline linux or some people ran it on majaro on libhybris but you need new enough kernel.
As to nothing working… well its two guys project so development is not fast, it’s very much hobby project.
My plan for it is to rework gui in its entirety and then add possibility of running sfos apps at which point i’m jumping the ship and never looking back. Thats why i made port for op6 cause it has good mainline support so you can install nemo on it any time you want.
