I mean, yeah probably makes sense at this point. Nobody is seriously running desktop Linux on RISC-V.

On the other hand nobody is seriously running desktop Linux on PowerPC either. Why do they support that?

Probably going to be 5 years or so until RISC-V gets to the point that you might actually want to use it for "normal" stuff.
