Yes, it's a difficult situation to get out. I think the ecosystem is growing very fast, but enough fast for the ubuntu way? I don't think so

This boards haven't got the rv23 necessary extensions, and aren't competitive, they are expensive for their performance. There only one attractive is the risc-v cpu for learning, etc
I think this can be a good idea in... 5 years maybe? It will only works on qemu, witch board suppose to have this things? I only know one board with all of thins things in ARM, risc-v is too young. I can't imagine a competitive risc-v board at the moment
Gentoo have both sides, the cool community and the suckless community xD You can check it in the telegram groups about gentoo
Or a more old hardware friendly system like netBSD
No. The main diference is that you write a software for Android, it doesn't work in gnu/Linux (without extra layers), but if you write a software for steamOS, literally you are writing a software for gnu/Linux. SteamOS is an arch Linux modified to be immutable with a custom (and free) kernel with extra support that they merge after in mainline, with the steam app oppened by default. SteamOS use all the software stack for gnu Linux. Android develop their own stack and work different.
Nah you can have x3 load per core without problem. The real problem is when you haven't got enough ram xD
If snap or flathub repos are in the store, any mainstream application be in. In the other side, if you don't know what are you doing and install random packages, the most probably is that you'll broke your system
The normal people doesn't install software external to the store or configure the system a lot, in IOS you can't do this things and everyone is fine. For share network in gnome you can do it with a button in the WiFi settings
In my firs time with linux I install ubuntu (maybe 12.04, I dont't remember, it was gnome 2) in the only PC in my parents home, I delete windows, and we was using it 2 years without knowing what is a terminal and everything went fine, the problems appeard when I was discover the terminal hahahaha
With 8 or 16 GB of ram it would have been the best risc-v board excluding the milk-v pioneer

Yea this is what I was saying whan I talked about the risc-v ecosistem isn't competitive (at the moment). For me the bests boards at the moment are the based in the spacemmit k1, supports the majority of the rv23 profile extensions (not everything, and for this reason not will be compatible with the new versions for Ubuntu), and full rv22, including rvv 1.0. I have an orange pi rv2 (they use a renamed k1 for some weird reason), and works very well... For 50$, not for more
