Debian 13 "Trixie" Officially Adds RISC-V Support

Debian 13 "Trixie," slated for release on August 9th, will officially support the RISC-V 64-bit architecture for the first time. While board support is currently limited and the build process hampered by slow hardware, over seventeen thousand Debian packages are already building for RISC-V. Supported hardware includes SiFive HiFive Unleashed, SiFive HiFive Unmatched, Microchip Polarfire, and VisionFive 2. Despite challenges like slow build daemons, Debian's commitment to RISC-V is evident.
