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.

ESWIN Computing is launching a new SBC running RISC-V. In a joint statement with Canonical, they have announced first-party support for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS on the new device. Good news for anyone wanting to diversify away from ARM SBC's.

I'd wait a bit more. As the article says, Canonical recently also upped the RISC-V requirements for their 26.04 LTS and this SBC doesn't meet those.
