*TECHNICALLY* you aren't wrong. However, let's consider that I"ve been
around since 2009 in the Ubuntu world (2012 when I started deep diving
into it technically) and NVIDIA has *never* provided any drivers binary
or otherwise that work on non-x86 infras. I don't see any time yet that
NVIDIA is going to change that.
Therefore, unless NVIDIA ships drivers, making the tool functional in
RISCv is 'not useful' and is simply going to open us to the risk of more
bugs of "This isn't working".
One of the requirements for sponsoring and enabling packages for other
archs is "Is it going to prove useful?" And currently, this is not
going to prove useful unless NVIDIA decides to start distributing
binaries for alternate architectures (which I don't think they even have
graphics cards compatible with the other archs).
If NVIDIA decides to publish RISCv binaries in the future this can be
revisited. However, rejecting now on the basis as stated above.
