Debian support for RISC-V is presently only in Sid (testing release). So not production ready.

When I ask people what it will take to get RISC-V into stable releases the answer is always ‘better access to test hardware’. Hopefully this is a step along the way.

Ubuntu (server) is a lot closer. For example, see the limitations at the end of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RISC-V/StarFive%20VisionFive%202

I haven't tried it -- I installed the VF2 Debian fork in April 2023 or so, then switched to SID, and I'm still on that. I think Ubuntu 24.10 will have a lot better support; mainline support for the VF2/JH7110 is almost complete for 6.6: https://rvspace.org/en/project/JH7110_Upstream_Plan
