Yeah, that would be really cool! While Ubuntu is already very long preparing everything and also having everything in place for rv64 (I think since 20.04 with compiled packages) they could focus the time to support the different hardware boards like , , , , etc. They did a great job and made the entry to the RISC-V world very easy. Honestly, I've just seen this accidentally when grabbing sources to compile for (for the snapshot archive back in that time). Then I just gave Ubuntu a try... Worth a post - kudos!

Having boards from European manufacturers world be really very cool but I guess also much more expensive than the current boards from china. But teaching rv64 assembly is a bit too much, we can be lucky when they teach them at least something in tech :D
