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
Those chips not supporting RV23 isn't super surprising, they were released in 2023 while RV23 was only ratified in 2024.
Ubuntu requiring RV23 however does surprise me (I admit I didn't read the article), that seems premature, but I suppose it's a good baseline going forward. Last time I looked at any of the chips none of them supported the V extension, and those that did were majority only supported the incompatible pre-standard version.
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
