RISC-V

More context

Discussion around RISC-V is centered on rapid ecosystem maturation: CPU performance has reportedly improved 8x over five years, while open-source GPU and broader Linux/kernel support are expanding. Fedora 44’s RISC-V images and new board-level Wi‑Fi support suggest the platform is moving beyond niche experimentation toward practical desktop and developer use.
