I was already eyeing the Framework, but this was my one single wish that I had for it to be perfect!

Edit: After reading the article, I realize that RISC-V isn't nearly mature enough to be an instant replacement for x86_64. However, I'm still glad that Framework upholds open standards and give people easier access to develop for them too.

It's gonna be a while before RISC-V (and the accompanying software) is ready for consumers, but this is a great step towards that goal. Framework is the perfect development plattform, due to the modularity.

I'm super excited about this, didn't expect it to happen so soon.

I expected to see risc v processors first in embedded devices, like routers and cameras, then moving to smart devices, like tvs and smartwatches, then to phones and then desktops. But looks like there won't be a clear line, and things will come concurrently.
