How different are RISC-V laptops? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Hello all,

I've only done very basic research on RISC-V as the DeepCompute RISC-V mobo caught my attention. For the software side, I know that support will (probably) come with time, so I can't really do much besides lament over it huh?

The main thing that caught my eye is that the DeepCompute mobo seems to only accept SD cards for storage. Is this a hard limit of RISC-V or is it just a limit of current technology (i.e. we need time to build something over RISC-V like x86_64/amd64?)?

I've also heard that Linux ran vaguely slow on RISC-V architectures, but ive only heard it as a passing comment. How true is this? Would future developments/putting in more time like for the decades behind x86_64 developments alleviate the speed issue?

Thank you all!

I mean I don't particularly hate having to compile everything myself, and your point about minimum requirements should've hit me wayyyy sooner. I really only planned to try RISC-V on my laptop since I only use it for productivity purposes anyways
