why aren't we looking at RISC-V as the correct path?
doesn't POWERPC have a bunch of motorola and IBM proprietary shit in it?
we might as well build it open from the hardware up

RISC-V as an instruction set architecture is open source but there are no open source implementations of it that exist. Let me repeat that for you, dumbass, THERE ARE NO OPEN SOURCE IMPLEMENTATIONS THAT EXIST. There probably never will be. And no, a bunch of fucking NEETs will not be able to make their own silicon. It's absurdly expensive to buy the equipment alone, let alone set it up somewhere, make a clean room, hire hundreds of engineers, and then package the chips you make. And you won't even have motherboards to use them.
POWER9 is just as open if not more so than RISC-V shit. Take your meme architecture and go back to r*ddit.
