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.

pretty hard to do computation on a pdf. which is what risc-v is. You need someone to design and build a chip according to what's in those pdfs
i was replying to the point that all hardware is made by large corporations. That will not change, irrelevant of whether the isa is open source or not.
You know there's tons of real chips out already and more coming all the time?
ARM is as much just a spec at heart.
and arm do not manufacture chips. Usually tsmc or samsung do. The fact that chips exist is orthogonal to the argument of who ends up manufacturing them
