@gamingonlinux don't know much about the subject but I wonder if another arch like arm might map better to riscv for something like this. Obviously most software is compiled for x86, but maybe arm would be a decent middle ground while waiting for risc to get mainstream support

@Mae @gamingonlinux Don't see how ARM is a middleground tbh. Got similar problems to x86 in terms of licenses and openness.
