This is perhaps the least stupid implementation of RISC-V use at home I've seen yet, since at least the rest of the platform can bet swapped for something better.

I guess you want to ask if it has a ACPI table, the answer is no.

For what is essentially a Visionfive 2 stuffed in a notebook, thats an insane price. Go grab a visionfive2 from Amazon for 100 bucks, slap a cheap NVMe onto it and you got a decent headless riscv machine running mainline which of course excludes the GPU but thats clear.

Maybe now when ARM fudged Qualcomm on the IP licenses, we can have some effort going into a performant RISC-V solution?

To be fair, have an 8th Gen Core series Dell Precision 5530 laptop with a 4K display running Arch and so much more fun to be working in.
I've used C2D with 8GB+ RAM tolerably, and imagine the base $300 Framework RISC-V model would be fine to replace it for my use as long as it can run a desktop Linux distro well, and Fedora being mentioned makes it sound pretty good!

I wish it was made with SiFive latest gen core and all, but it's great to see real risc-v product hitting the shelf.
Arm solution is not as bad as x86, it's better engineered, and it's not trapped inside a duopoly, but the true future-proof answer to ISA needs is RISC-V.
RISC-V features the best assembly to date, the best license, and the best potential for optimizations.

Looking forward to more quality low-power (ARM possibly, but okay with X86) laptops that I can run Linux in. Windows really starting to become no fun for me, especially on crappy laptops!

I think one more generation to go. My main concern at this point is less if the performance is worth it, more if it's going to be fully open (which this isn't).
By which I mean the boot process, any "embedded" subprocessors and firmware etc. Sadly that aspect does not seem to be any better than arm or even x86.
