RISC-V SBC’s are indeed becoming more common but they aren’t quite here for the consumer end, not atleast yet. Cool simple video about it

Bah, there's so many RPi clones and offshoots now I wonder if they can even survive the coming market. Especially when RISC-V SBC's are becoming more common.

They are not much cheaper though. Often they’re even more expensive than a Pi with similar specs.

It will all boil down to software/os support

Its slowly happening. ExplainingComputers has had good results using a RISC-V SBC.

This. I buy RPi because it’s the cheapest computer where you can get actual good support and good guides online on how to solve common problems with it, not because it’s the best bang-for-buck. I think about the weird-ass problems I had with my RPis and I’d hate to deal with that crap without access to the amount of help online you get with a Pi.
