I'm contemplating getting a board for use at home. I ruled out the enterprise systems that are several thousand USD/EUR, as I plan to only use it for hobby capacity. Is there anything that is there to avoid? I recently learned that the SiFive boards have somewhat terrible memory performance, making them painfully slow for real world use. Any advice?

@zygoon Questions is: What is your idea behind buying RISC-V machine? A cheap potato for tests? Then VisionFive 2 is ok (or even cheaper slower boards). If you want something with some power (i.e. at least Rpi4B), maybe for a light desktop/home light srv backend)? LicheePi 4A is best choice right now (got one last week).

What to have in mind:
- Right now (emphasis on >now<) the spport for new kernels/drivers/hw accels etc. is taking off.
- (No) Support of RISC Vector instructions (0.7 vs 1.0)

@theron29 @zygoon I have a home test lab that runs and builds various things for me. I and not looking for a desktop. My ideal board has 8GB+ of memory and is not crippled by hardware design decisions or bugs. Something that can run Debian, Fedora or Ubuntu.
