From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I am a little bit bummed to see the RAM is soldered and the storage options are limited to SD card and eMMC. But it definitely looks like the most mature Risk-V computer one can get at the moment.

It definitely makes it less interesting and feels the opposite of what Framework wants to do. I hope future models will be as replaceable and upgradable as their x86_64 machines.

To be fair, how long it took Michaelsoft to support ARM? What else to ship it with? BSD, IOS...
