I'm planning to switch to RISC-V by 2030, and since this is new to me (I’m an old AMD64 (and i386) veteran), I wanted to ask what your thoughts and predictions are regarding performance, stability, and usability as a creator of all kinds of content, whether it’s music, movies, 3D, or watching cat videos on YouTube. I’m also planning to buy a new, fresh computer, maybe a laptop from around 2027/2028. Is that a good idea, or am I biting off more than I can chew? To sum up, I’m asking for your opinions, advice, warnings, and thoughts. Feel free to write not only answers to my questions but anything you consider important in the context of the RISC-V and Linux marriage in the near future
Why does your question sound like you are prompting an LLM? I sincerily hope we are not transitioning to communicating like this, because if I have to read stuff like this once again I think I will have to get offline indefinitly.
To answer your question only Nostradamus can chew whatever you are asking mate, I think that thinking about what computer produced in two years you should buy in 4 years might be a cool video idea for an upcoming youtube channel, but absolutely useless for anything practical today.
That’s a valid point, though it’s not as absurd as it might seem. The thing is, I plan to buy this two-year-old computer in 2030, because perhaps the software will mature on it over the next few years, so that it might run noticeably more efficiently, just like my ThinkPad T470, for example, which ran more and more stably and smoothly over time (up to a point). Maybe what I'm writing sounds a bit like a prompt for an LLM model, but that's because I'm not used to posting on sites like this (I discovered this site today at 3:00 p.m. and I've only had an account for three hours), and as for LLM models, I spend a lot of time on them every day
