Finally, something done using only RISCV.
OMG ubuntu or fedora by default! finally!
- To be fair, how long it took Michaelsoft to support ARM? What else to ship it with? BSD, IOS...
  
  i try to focus on silver linings wherever i see them because the clouds are going to come whether or not you want them to.
- It is nice to see. However, it's not like anything other than *nix will run on rv (for now)
I am a little bit bummed to see the RAM is soldered and the storage options are limited to SD card and eMMC. But it definitely looks like the most mature Risk-V computer one can get at the moment.
- It definitely makes it less interesting and feels the opposite of what Framework wants to do. I hope future models will be as replaceable and upgradable as their x86_64 machines.
  
  is this mainboard even by framework? sound like made by deepcomputing and not sold by framework.
Keeping an eye on this
