Is RISC-V hardware viable now?

I don't think I'll be able to replace my daily driver computer yet, but does anyone have any regular experience with RISC-V computers and where they're at right now? I'm considering buying some RISC-V boards from Pine64 just to try it out.
You're viewing a single thread.
Currently been playing around with the Star64 board from the Pine folks. Its definitely not daily driver material yet, but progress is being made every day. There is a lot of functionality and use case for it.
If you love to tinker and not afraid to roll up your sleeve to potentially compile some things here or there, then its potentially for you. Ive been able to get a few distros functional on it (some with graphical environments). The package base in most the distros are a bit lacking, but you do have the ability to cross compile what you need in most cases.
