I was under the impression that RISCV was poorly supported, ARM has some (more) open platforms so I guess their RISC would be fine, and a significantly simpler undertaking than implementing x86.
Fedora was very excited in a February article and Debian, Ubuntu, and other distros have installer images for RISC-V. With the open source and cheaper architecture compared to x86, support for it will only snowball now. There are also x86 emulators for RISC-V systems, which might perhaps bridge the gap where support is not yet native?
Linux doesn’t necessarily require an x86 (CISC) instruction set; it also runs on ARM (RISC) devices. https://www.androidauthority.com/arm-vs-x86-key-differences-explained-568718/

There’s also a RISC-V laptop - DC ROMA
But it’s still mostly experimental, rather than for regular usage.
