From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Or maybe you are having a bit of a problem understanding people, 5 people upvoted so i guess my motives were understandable to them.
Some people might not know there is a list on the wiki of SBC.
I was never interested in "sticking it to the man", even if you want to disincentivize reddit for some maybe the benefits of contributing to the RISC-V ecosystem are more important (and lets be honest, It doesn't really "move the needle").
Of course if you want to buy some toy that might end up on "plastic island" that's a different problem.
