So I have a uconsole r01 it’s basically a weak riscv machine

I want to see of there are alternatives to the stock os which is kinda bad

Any recommendations? Or is clockworkpios the only option?

    Debian and Fedora have ports, though not all packages are available, and you’ll probably be doing a lot of porting if you want anything else.

    But this bit from the uConsole R-01 product page might be relevant to you:

    uConsole R-01 is a highly experimental model and requires some experience with Linux systems & FOSS. We strongly recommend all beginners choose other models.

    Your best bet is Debian, or raspbian. The OSes for it are listed on the website.

        Your model has no GPU, so it’s possible that no graphical environment is supported. I suggest you sell it and get a Raspberry Pi if what you’re after is a more desktop experience.
