  • RIEC-V is as far as I know very new as a processor.

    This means most of your software that works on Linux, Windows, Mac, Android or anything similar doesn’t do so on the new processor.

    This means you need developer who will port it or write new software for it. While crosscompiling is possible it is usually easier to have real hardware to test on. Not even to write the software on that device. You still can write it on your x86-64 pc and then either compile it on the RISC-V pc or crosscompile and test it only on the RISC-V pc.

    For people who want to do this,it is targeted I think.

    Tech enthusiasts who like new stuff.





  • I don’t have guide I can remember,but some tips:

    If you don’t have Nvidia. It should be just installing Linux mint. And you are ready to go.

    Use the package manager to install anything and Google it if you need help.

    If you have Nvidia it might just work, but you need the proprietary drivers.

    In steam itself you want to enable proton for all games in the settings.

    Check the reviews on protondb for hints if sth isn’t working out of the box.

    Also use protonqup(for proton ge) and protontricks(for debugging some games).

    Ge will enable some features that steam can’t legally enabled by default.













  • I complained that Microsoft was doing that and this and made it difficult for me to change x.

    Then in Linux I changed x and broke my system and complained about how I fucked up.

    So well one has advantages over the other in some aspects and in others the other one is better.

    I personally don’t like windows because of the ads, weird settings, and the spying software. My whole experience is not that great on windows. And I love tinkering in Linux.
