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.

I tried to watch this, and I kept shipping forward until he said something on topic.... after 15 minutes, he got to the title of the video.
That's 15 minutes of random anecdotes, intro, discussion with the crowd, and just general chatter that didn't have anything to do with RISC-V, before he even said the title of the talk.
I just quit at that point because I don't care about what places he recommends to go visit or eat at in whatever city he's in that I am not, and might never be. I finally got into something resembling content and my brain was so taxed trying to figure out how someone can speak so many words, yet say absolutely nothing, that I could not go on.
I like RISC-V. I want to see more RISC-V stuff on the market. I don't want to sit through an episode of diners, drive-ins and dives just to get info about it.
