The Steam Frame is running on ARM, so how else do you expect to run Steam games on that?

As long as Apple, Samsung and Qualcomm keep selling ARM chips, not much is going to change.
But with ARM threatening to end the license of Qualcomm, I think several companies are looking at RISC-V.

Insane battery life will take a while. Most (if not all) RISC-V chips for laptops are coming from China, and they don't have good access to the latest production nodes (US sanctions).
But you can buy some RISC-V boards for the Framework laptop.

Well, Bluesky is a US platform. People all over the world use Google services, Facebook, etc.

Installing Linux won't be a problem. As soon as you start using internet platforms/websites, you might run into problems.
Age verification is popping up all over the world, but implementation can be different.

Those spikes in percentage of Chinese users cause drops in percentage of Linux users. Makes me wonder why it's not persistent. Just some Steam marketing events in China, or weird statistical phenomena?
Let's see if Linux can hold that 5%.

YARKtop Yet Another Rockchip top YouTube video by LivingLinux

YARKtop is a nice system monitor for Rockchip SoCs. I had an issue with monitoring GPU utilisation, but GPU clock frequency works. It's also better to work with the vendor kernel for NPU monitoring.

Dragon Q6A Qualcomm QCS6490 Octa-core Platform for Edge AI

Have a look at the Radxa Dragon Q6A Snapdragon SBC. Faster than a Pi 5 (and RK3588) and more affordable. It doesn't output 4K60, no AV1 hardware decoder, but it comes with OpenGL 4.6 support.

NVIDIA on RVA23: “We Wouldn’t Have Considered Porting CUDA to RISC-V Without It” The RISC-V RVA23 profile’s ratification is already spurring top vendors to align on a common RISC-V hardware goal.

Nvidia is also preparing to use RISC-V.

SpacemiT K3 Qosmic Flam3 RISC-V Pre-Release Test YouTube video by LivingLinux

Disclosure: SpacemiT has reviewed the video and promised me a free SpacemiT K3 board.

I have remote access to a SpacemiT K3 board.

You can generate cosmic recursive fractal flames with Flam3, and it also works on RISC-V.

Any plans for the Rockchip RK3588 NPU?
Or RISC-V?

We can speculate where most of the data is, but the main point is to move to solutions that respect our privacy.
I wouldn't underestimate Cupertino. They have lied about privacy for years, and so far most people still believe the lies.

You don't need much to run an office suite. Even a Raspberry Pi can do that.

First university-designed 7-nanometer AI chip The EU's first AI chip with modern 7-nanometre technology has been developed at TUM. Prof. Hussam Amrouch aims to develop three new designs each year.

Changing the goal posts again. As you say, the discussion is France moving away from US tech.
There is nothing that says France won't use Chinese tech. You are pulling that out of your ass.
Sure, the EU has a long way to go, but things are moving.

I think Qualcomm will be very sad you forgot to mention the Snapdragon X Elite computers.

5 RISC-V SBCs that are worth using instead of a Raspberry Pi Raspberry Pi might be the king of SBCs, but there are a few RISC-V boards that are definitely worth considering instead

Ah, changing the goal posts. Nice try. The discussion was, what if we can no longer use US chips, not the current market share.
And Raspberry Pi doesn't count, as it uses Broadcom (US) chips.
But hey, if you really want to go there, you can even buy RISC-V.

Build OpenRA Command & Conquer Red Alert ARM Linux YouTube video by LivingLinux

As I had performance issues with the snap of OpenRA (Command & Conquer), i compiled it from source.
Unfortunately it uses .NET, and .NET has telemetry enabled by default. You can disable it with an environment variable.
