I don’t think I’ll be able to replace my daily driver computer yet, but does anyone have any regular experience with RISC-V computers and where they’re at right now? I’m considering buying some RISC-V boards from Pine64 just to try it out.
Depends on what you expect to do with it. A bit of faffing around with the Gentoo repository tells me that they’ve convinced KDE5, Firefox, Libreoffice, GIMP, and a few other useful pieces of software to build, but not Chromium, Thunderbird, etc. So maybe somewhere between a Pi and a Chromebook, in terms of usefulness?
