[Discuss] Is RISC-V ready for prime time?

[Dale.Worley at comcast.net (Dale R. Worley)]

I was looking at the video of the December meeting presentation.  It
seemed to be mostly about what single-board computers are available with
RISC-V processors.  What I'm interested in is RISC-V as a processor for
conventional desktop/laptop computers -- a computer you can buy
that allows attachment of the conventional peripherals, where you load
Linux by plugging in distribution media from your favorite Linux
distro.  That is, a system where you don't have to hassle over low-level
hardware features and you don't have to hunt down manufacturer-custom
drivers.  Is RISC-V to that point yet?
