    RISC-V is supported on QEMU. The available devices don't have a ton of peripherals compared to aarch64, but it exists. Even FreeRTOS has a QEMU virt port for RISC-V. And if you hav…

    Proxmox is awesome! I've been running it for ~5 years and it's been absolutely stable and pleasant to run services on. The Proxmox Backup Server is the killer feature for me. Incre…

    Avidemux is also great, but I've had some issues with running it under Wayland. LosslessCut works excellent on every platform I've tried with no issues. It also has a much better U…
