I’m not buying hardware that doesn’t suit my needs as an investment hoping maybe it eventually will.
Tangent: If we started buying risc-v systems we might get to a point where they can actually compete.

Yeah, thats the reason why we‘re in this capitalist hellhole. Perfection comes from billionaire money, nothing else.

What are you talking about perfection?
Buying something that doesn’t function is never rational.

You were misrepresenting things. Your needs have nothing to do with things not being functional. Something can be perfectly functional and not meet someones needs. Nobody said you should buy it as an investment.

This is one of the hardest earned lessons I’ve ever learned, and I’ve had to learn it over and over again. I think it’s mostly stuck now but I still make the same mistake from time to time.

Jeff Geerling had a video recently about the state of RISC V for desktop. youtu.be/YxtFctEsHy0?si=SUQBiepSeOne8-2u

I really enjoyed watching it. Thanks for referring to it.

I’m waiting to see how DeepComputing’s RISC-V mainboard for the Framework turns out. I’m aware that this is very much a development platform and far from an actual end-user product, but if the price is right, I might jump in to experiment.

Sounds like a cool idea! :)

At the rate we are going Qualcomm might pivot to Risc-V (they are being sued by ARM)

Interesting! Thanks for chiming in. I‘ll read up about it.

That’s still far away from us as a consumer standpoint, but I’m eagerly waiting for a time when I could buy a RISC V laptop with atleast midrange computing capabalities

I‘m more on the builder/tinkerer side so I‘m pretty much in starting position with risc-v now. But yes, its going to be some time before any of it is user ready as a pc.

Framework has a laptop in progress if you’re interested

Indeed I am. I‘m in posession of a working laptop but I could maybe order a riscv tablet from pine64. I already have the pinetime and the stuff is pretty awesome.
