Just having an alternative is attractive to some. Having an open
alternative even more so.

I'd happily run ARM or RISC-V, if those were an alternative for a decent
desktop or laptop computer. Raspberry Pi is scratching and clawing its
way there little by little. As the Pi 4 has exposed a PCIe connection,
it has a viable storage now for a small system. But still slow and weird
form factor. Maybe in Pi 6 or maybe 10? Who knows.

RISC-V is better in the form factor part as there's a standard Mini-ITX
board but the price and performance aren't there yet. Not to mention
software support. I'd want an official Debian release first.
