That’s fine, it’s an emerging ISA, as with any, it takes some time before perf and sw compatibility reach a good spot. I think the key novelty to rv especially compared to x86_64 and arm is that there are no licencing restrictions: anyone is free to design and produce products based on that ISA, making more viable for vendors to more easily provide in-house silicon solutions. It’s already become fairly popular in lower power devices, like for IoT and wearables. My smart soldering iron uses a little 32 bit RISC V CPU and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s found some use in automotive, particularly in China. As we alluded to above, there are several designs available for more general use, and you may find that they handle your compute needs fairly well already, but they won’t be within striking distance of other ISAs if high performance is a requirement.

You’ve had me realise how long I’ve actually been using Linux for, though not quite at the ten year mark unless you count some very early endeavours with ubuntu. fully agree with you on Debian as a rock solid server. my “don’t fuck with it, just work” client system for several years now has been fedora workstation, though I’ve only relatively recently switched all of my personal computing over to it (still have several windows installations for work-related testing).

I’ve done it and I will accept nothing less. I’m glad though, that it’ll be expanding in availability to more than just google pixels.

I got a pro because it was heavily discounted at the time. The one thing I sort of appreciated is the display LTPO thing, which allow it to gear all the way down to 1hz to save power. thing is kinda moot since the 9a and 10a achieve significantly better battery life than the 10 pro (10a uses the prior gen SoC which seems to have better idle power characteristics).

no it’s fine, I thought you had the inside scoop there for a sec 😅 I’m sure we’ll see an android build eventually. either way, I think we’re pretty well served for Firefox forks across desktop and mobile

nah just the OP was asking for android specifically

Is there a mobile version for this yet?

Fennec on fdroid perhaps?
