   @sun Free? I think that computer costs 1.2K USD or something like that, at least it's less than the Raptor Blackbird or most ARM "workstations" (more like mini-servers).

     @lanodan but the CPU design is free, this isn't clickbait at all

     @sun For me that's entirely clickbait, specially given that LTT audience likely can't really do anything with the ISA+platform being a libre design.

     @sun In fact I think a way to showcase libre design powers would be more it being made by several different companies in different countries.
     And in more nerd-appropriate channels, how it already seems to have got pretty good OS support.

     @lanodan @sun it's not like an average Joe can do anything even with all those free CPU cores.
     
     Though programming for riscv is fun, I guess.

     @RedTechEngineer @sun I'd more go for the VisionFive 2 from StarFive given their documented Upstream Plan: https://rvspace.org/en/project/JH7110_Upstream_Plan
     
     The last thing I'd want is being stuck to a vendor tree for u-boot and kernel, and I've yet to see anything similar from any other riscv manufacturer.
     (ARM gave me enough pains that I tend to assume it's stuck to vendor trees when not documented)

     @lanodan @sun most people would probably be better off with it's $60 cousin from the same company. https://milkv.io/jupiter
     Less capable than the one in the LTT video but nowhere close to 42x less capable.

     @RedTechEngineer @sun In fact finally bought it, upstreaming progressed at least enough for me that even if it stops right now it would still be useful.
