I think it’s obvious this board’s primary customers are not your everyday computer users, and hardly anyone here bought it to specifically use for a project now. So nobody’s at a loss.
For my part, I’ve got plenty of computer power, so it’s not something I’d need working; I bought this because three years ago I moved most of my stuff to arm64 through sweat and tears, so I wanted to do it all over again on an even cooler tech, to put it blutly.
And boy, it’s WAY EASIER to get stuff working in rv64 than arm64/gnu for some reason.
That’s just it! My board met my expectations! It makes risc-v look cool and new, all it needs now is an army of people better than me. Which it has little chance of getting if everyone is so discouraged from using it because “it runs slow at this point.”
Guys. Look around the forum. How many people are enjyoing their VF2 in full graphic mode?
I mean, I appreciate the effort in explaining exactly why it needs more time to be usable, but in the meantime I’ve had it run useful stuff like you would run on a normal PC and honestly had great fun with it until … well, until I activated the official graphic stack. Now it’s almost useless and I realize why it gets so little publicity outside this forum and the initial push for rv tech.
This board cost me 110 euro, and I could have used that money to get my son an oPi 5 instead. I chose to support this board and this developer, and I like said, I am at no loss, kids can just play the minecrafts on laptops, so with that in mind:
Are we not allowed to voice opinions on anything…?
There is a legitimate question here. Why is the desktop not working as it used to?
I’ve read these walls of texts that boil down to ‘cut them some slack’ before. And’ve agreed to them, so can we go pass this?
So the question now becomes technical – why is the desktop not working? Can we help?
Honesly, this is a developer board in development, anyone who bought it can be at this point thought of as a developer. I bought this for the openness, among other reasons. So how can I help? Specifically, I want to help fix the modesetting driver. Where do I go?
