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

I guess currently it's a chicken and egg situation for OEMs. They can't consider RISC-V based boards/laptops because there is no or minimal software for it. Also, porting to RISC-V can't be that expensive of an endeavor. Most unix software is already portable.

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
