From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I am a little bit bummed to see the RAM is soldered and the storage options are limited to SD card and eMMC. But it definitely looks like the most mature Risk-V computer one can get at the moment.

It definitely makes it less interesting and feels the opposite of what Framework wants to do. I hope future models will be as replaceable and upgradable as their x86_64 machines.

is this mainboard even by framework? sound like made by deepcomputing and not sold by framework.

[–] PureTryOut@lemmy.kde.social 1 points 1 hour ago

It's made in collaboration with Framework.

Finally, something done using only RISCV.

It is nice to see. However, it's not like anything other than *nix will run on rv (for now)

To be fair, how long it took Michaelsoft to support ARM? What else to ship it with? BSD, IOS...

i try to focus on silver linings wherever i see them because the clouds are going to come whether or not you want them to.
