      It would mean the dinishing of market share of proprietary US software and hardware.

      Linux and *BSD run on RISC-V. RISC-V devices will be shipped with an open source OS and apps. Android users won’t even notice / care about what chip is inside their tech.

      And it puts app lock-in to the test.

        Let’s hope that move happens.

        It would be a blast seeing Linux gathering a lot more influence.

        And the notion of running a fully FOSS based system, down to the hardware root is just wonderful.
