Neat to see the emergence of another major CPU architecture. I guess the main benefit of RISC-V is that any company can make a RISC-V chip if they want. Note that this doesn't mean their chip design is open source or anything; it just means whatever silicon they design implements the RISC-V instruction set.

Actually sweet, even if the CPU perf is underwhelming. What distros have full desktop RISCV support?
