How is RISC-V better than arm for Linux?
(programming.dev)
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.

Thank you for the great write-up. Man, I sometimes regret not having studies computer science. I am really invested in open source and net neutrality etc., but I can't contribute shit so I'm restricted to a mere consumer.
I'm just happy that my garuda linux just keeps working most of the time becaus I couldn't code anything if my devices would fail.
That's not true! Contributing documentation improvements is critically important for the growth and health of the open-source community but is very overlooked.
I got graduate and masters in the hardware area but learned all of those things about arm and riscV by myself. I only got to see mips and hypothetical ISA in my courses. Heck riscV and rpi didn't even exist.
All you need is interest and time.
