Nice to see that some people are taking the time to try and assemble a RISC-V PC usable in everyday life.
That no mainline web browser works would be a showstopper for me. I spend about half my day on the web and the other half in my IDE (being a developer).
Did you try building Chromium? It doesn't have any Rust dependencies AFAIK.

- UltraViolence 5y agoOK, fine, but not having JavaScript is unworkable. Most sites, such as Github, Outlook and Jira require it and I need those to do my day-to-day work.
- btdmaster 5y agoIt'll get there eventually. Right now, JavaScript works but it does not have the architecture-specific just-in-time compiler that speeds up hot code massively. The interpreter works though.
