    I didn’t know there was no RISC-V toolchain for Rust, that’s kinda weird!

    You’re still limited to either waiting for hours or cross-compiling though since currently the best available RISC-V CPU is quad-core 2.5 GHz (which still looks hella promising, 2 years ago best we had was 1.5 GHz dual-core).

    Compiling anything on PinePhone is also painful :D. But I suspect there is probably a lot more ARM packages available in distros and some app developers release ARM builds.

    Those energy efficiency comparisons are pretty interesting! x86 is also improving, so I’m curious if there will ever be x86 phones.
