IT'S HAPPENING MY DUDES!!!
At Last: an Affordable RISC-V Board With Desktop Linux Support

@iooioio As far as I know it's mainly about licencing.
@mangeurdenuage I don't know honestly, article doesn't talk about it.
@person Now, if IBM/NXP and Gaisler would do this kind of POWER/SPARC board... 
@koakuma I would love a PowerISA laptop!
@person There's the PPC Notebooks project, hope they can get it into production.
@person Sadly the chip they use seems to be big-endian only 
@koakuma Isn't that variant harder to support?
@person Mostly because some software accidentally assumes LE hosts due to it being the dominant ordering in consumer products, but otherwise I don't think that it's inherently harder to support
@koakuma I saw that too, boy I hope so!
@person Sweet! I don't really know much about this stuff. What are the technical advantages (if any) of RISC-V vs. ARM? Or is it just about licencing? Or is there something else cool about RISC-V that I'm missing?
