Aren't there already MIPS based laptops available in China with Loognson processors? I've actually been meaning to see if I can get one where I live off aliexpress or something.
Edit: Here ya go: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804582346265.html
1500 dollary-doos oh no ma'am i use linux cause im POOR /hj
All this stuff looks really cool but it's still in its infancy right now and also Fedora doesn't have good support for RISC-V processors (they're still working on ARM and hopefully apple silicon speeds that up).
Yeah I was disappointed seeing that too. I was hoping there'd be a cheap-ish netbook like variant just to play around with building and testing software for it. Though there are affordable-ish motherboards for desktops by the looks of it. Though keep in mind those are MIPS, not RISC-V. Both are RISC ISAs but MIPS has been around in computers much longer, but also isn't very popular compared to ARM so software compatibility bmihht be an issue. I think the largest use of MIPS architecture was the PS2 processor.
