I would be happy to, but it's currently not an option for desktop/laptop.

Would be great for an SBC where the OS and apps are open source and performance is less of an issue.

ARM has all the same drawbacks as x86 and it's not a Deus Ex machina that gives high performance at low power consumption because of magic.

Imagine Europe pushing RISC-V and sharing upgrades with China¹. The power of the flagship would soon reach ARM or even x86-64 in a few years.

¹ China is already using RISC-V as much as they can.

I would support that, but it would require European unity and a strategic decision to make a permanent break with the US.
