I guess currently it's a chicken and egg situation for OEMs. They can't consider RISC-V based boards/laptops because there is no or minimal software for it. Also, porting to RISC-V can't be that expensive of an endeavor. Most unix software is already portable.

Yes, it's a difficult situation to get out. I think the ecosystem is growing very fast, but enough fast for the ubuntu way? I don't think so
