From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Great. Now we only need a decent SBC you can buy.
Depends of what you mean by decent, but there are several linux capable ones that are fairly cheap.
which of those work with debian? any suggestions? super excited.
Not an expert but i would start my research here , You can always ask on the risc-v subreddit where there are more knowledgeable people.
you are weird. well ofcourse i can read about it on debian. i was interested in personal experience. also, are you suggesting to visit spezland???
Or maybe you are having a bit of a problem understanding people, 5 people upvoted so i guess my motives were understandable to them.
Some people might not know there is a list on the wiki of SBC.
I was never interested in "sticking it to the man", even if you want to disincentivize reddit for some maybe the benefits of contributing to the RISC-V ecosystem are more important (and lets be honest, It doesn't really "move the needle").
Of course if you want to buy some toy that might end up on "plastic island" that's a different problem.
I've had my starfive visionfive 2 for a while now and Debian is (or at least was) the main supported distro.
I'd settle for a headless box with roughly rpi4 performance and decent NIC and storage I/O for less than 200 EUR. We don't seem to be quite there yet.
