The first laptop with RISC-V processor and ReactOS

Post by Start »

The first laptop with a RISC-V processor is coming
RISC-V processors have their own instruction set. Will ReactOS ever be able to install and run on a laptop with a RISC-V processor?

Lowest to zero priority. There is no reason to plan or think about that as there would be absolutely ZERO apps to run. Never heard of any Windows app for RISC-V as there is no Windows for it too.
ReactOS is still in alpha stage, meaning it is not feature-complete and is recommended only for evaluation and testing purposes.

EmuandCo Thanks. The lack of applications is of course a good reason not to make compatibility with RISC-V.

I have to correct my claim. Looks like there really is some work ongoing regarding porting to RISCV. What for? The argument is quite valid... When we started with the arm port years ago, there was none from Microsoft, but now there is. ^^ So sorry for the incorrect claim
