Here’s a video (YouTube) I saw recently that talks about the experience of using a Milk-V Jupiter in 2025.
I have a Star64 from Pine64 that I have been meaning to play with. I would say 2030 may be early to expect daily driving a RISC-V device, but you can start playing with RISC-V and becoming familiar with the system so the transition becomes easier once the platform becomes more mature.
I’m glad I was able to choose C++ for my data structures class. Using pointers made it much easier to wrap my mind around trees, graphs, etc. Towers of Hanoi was a mindfuck, though.
