Maybe in ten years when support has matured some. RISC-V is something I dream about and want, but a RockChip ARM would be a better platform atm.

I’d really love to see a RISC-V phone running BSD, but same issue. 😥

I mean, they weren’t wrong. ARM is a RISC chip, so RISC did change the world.

I’ve been seriously considering getting M$’s arm dev box to use as a desktop. ARM on desktop is kinda kicking ass.

Arm desktop? What?

Yep, it's a thing. Qualcomm recently put one out afaik.

And you can technically make the Ampere CPU - not the NVIDIA thing - run as a overkill desktop chip.

Threadripper, but actually ripping your power bill into shreds. xD

Yep. Windows, Linux, and BSD all run on it with varying levels of success, with Windows lagging primarily because none of the other OEMs want to write drivers yet.

If I could afford the Ampere, I would jump on it. Watching Jeff Geerling with his gives me serious FOMO.
