It wasn't meant as a pejorative. Just as Linux dominates the datacentre, RISC-V will carve out a slice of it's own, I just don't think we'll be playing Cyberpunk 3089 on our RISC-V gaming machines.
Personally, I don't particularly care whether my computer runs RISC-V or not (for the reason above, it's only open source at the edges) - I'm more concerned with the openness of the rest of the machine
Oh, yeah, then we agree. I'm expecting it to make inroads in embedded stuff first (which, I mean, it already has, ex. WD using it for controllers) and eventually wind up as something where you can get a single board computer running on it pretty easily but as a second-class option for a long time. But we already are in a place where you can use Linux for most daily tasks if you want, you can run NT games via Proton, plenty of folks use Pis for side projects, etc. So if we get there with RISC-V in a few years I'll be happy.
