Do you expect a lot of things to break on RISCV?

Fedora have been shipping on RISC-V for about three years already. Last I saw, around 95% of packages work. The main exceptions have been thing that need some JIT that hasn't been ported yet -- gcc and llvm have been working for years.

Same for Debian, where the percentage of packages that build on RISC-V is second only to ppc64 out of the "minor" ISAs. https://buildd.debian.org/stats/graph-ports-week.png
