Risc-V is very exciting. The future of open computing.
Does risc-v have uefi like x86 or it requires specific image for every machine like before?
Yes, both.
The architecture is really varied. You can get super cheap SoCs that are barely capable of running FreeRTOS, and you can get 100+ core beasts with EFI, PCIe, etc.
Linux
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.
