awesome-riscv VS awesome-mango-pi-mq-pro

Github seems like a good option for this (or codeberg), creating something like awesome risc-v where other people can make suggestions and improvements.

The lists out there are out of date, but this isn't a bad place to start.

In general, I've been seeing quite a few interesting open-source implementations; what RISC-V has brought to the table is a community and an ISA that open CPU implementors can get behind, and vice versa, which has led to a lot of advancements in open CPU development.

If you'd like to learn first-hand, why not look at a few open-source implementations for yourself? I think that's one of the incidental benefits of RV - people implementing their own FOSS cores with a shared instruction set!

I have a MangoPi MQ Pro. I can't recommend anybody use this chip for desktop use. It makes a great little computer to build something out of, low power. But a single core @ 1Ghz just isn't enough power for most desktops. I haven't tried any desktops on it yet, but just logging in with SSH is slow tbh. Something like the Visionfive 2 on kickstarter right now, although more expensive, would make a much better desktop machine with a quad core. https://github.com/boosterl/awesome-mango-pi-mq-pro That is one of the better resources I have found for the board so far. I'm not sure if any of the OS images that are out right now include a desktop environment but I would like to imagine with a little bit of elbow grease at least Arch would have something in the repos to mess around with.
