RISC-V is decades away

Eh... what? I have a RISC-V SBC and it just works, running Debian on it in minutes of setup and it cost me peanuts.

Sure it's not a state of the art CPU ... and if I wanted to run anything demanding on it, I'd have to be patient. Heck it's not even made in the EU but in China... but it works, today, it just depends on what your workload is. So yes it's not the fastest or has the best efficiency but still, it exists already.
