SiFive and Red Hat Collaborate to Bring RHEL 10 to RISC-V Development
Quoting: SiFive and Red Hat Collaborate to Bring RHEL 10 to RISC-V Development —
Both SiFive and Red Hat participate in the RISC-V Software Ecosystem Project, which aims to accelerate the maturity of open-source software on RISC-V. The availability of RHEL 10 for the HiFive Premier P550 is a significant milestone for commercial-grade RISC-V adoption in data centers.
SiFive notes that its high-performance RISC-V hardware is already being used for AI and machine learning workloads. With RHEL 10 support, developers now have a familiar enterprise-grade toolchain for building full-stack solutions on open hardware.

Rocky Linux 10 Will Run on RISC-V - FOSS Force
It doesn’t seem that long ago that the folks at SiFive, RISC-V International, or others I met at a RISC-V Summit predicted it would be several years before the open source instruction set, RISC-V, would power desktops, laptops, or servers. Back then, open source silicon supporters were elated just because companies like Western Digital were ready to use the ISA to build accelerators and the like.
Those days are gone. At least three companies are now offering laptops with a RISC-V option. There are quite a few RISC-V-based single board computers available, and the ISA is even starting to make tentative inroads into servers and data center space. Also, those who get their hands on a RISC-V laptop or SBC won’t have trouble finding something to run on it, since at least six major Linux distributions have been ported to run on RISC-V silicon.

Rocky Linux 10 Adds Official RISC-V Support
The Rocky Linux project has announced an expansion of its hardware support in the upcoming Rocky Linux 10, confirming official support for the emerging RISC-V open-source architecture.
This move is due to the dedicated collaboration between the Fedora RISC-V community and Rocky Linux’s Alternative Architectures Special Interest Group (AltArch SIG).
Expected to roll out soon (RHEL 10 is already available), Rocky 10 will include riscv64gc builds, aligning closely with Fedora’s supported platforms.
