I’m planning to switch to RISC-V by 2030, and since this is new to me (I’m an old AMD64 (and i386) veteran), I wanted to ask what your thoughts and predictions are regarding performance, stability, and usability as a creator of all kinds of content, whether it’s music, movies, 3D, or watching cat videos on YouTube. I’m also planning to buy a new, fresh computer, maybe a laptop from around 2027/2028. Is that a good idea, or am I biting off more than I can chew? To sum up, I’m asking for your opinions, advice, warnings, and thoughts. Feel free to write not only answers to my questions but anything you consider important in the context of the RISC-V and Linux marriage in the near future
It may be excitement of something new, I’m a die-hard nonconformist, but I also love it when devices do exactly what I tell them to (which is why, for example, I modified my laptop using UMAF and managed to soft-brick it for the first time in the process :P). Your observation about laptops gives me sadness, because, it’s logical but i have hope that RISC-V laptops will be anyway (what is obvious but not obvious is how anywhere good they’ll be). I may answered your comment a little bit offtopic or chaotic, sorry, but i think you get my point :)
