    They can be but it’s up to the hardware implementation moreso than the ISA.

        It would mean the diminishing of market share of proprietary US software and hardware.

        Linux and *BSD run on RISC-V. RISC-V devices will be shipped with an open source OS and apps. Android users won’t even notice / care about what chip is inside their tech.

        And it puts app lock-in to the test.

          Let’s hope that move happens.

          It would be a blast seeing Linux gathering a lot more influence.

          And the notion of running a fully FOSS based system, down to the hardware root is just wonderful.
