One of the most promising developments in this space is the rapid growth of the RISC-V ecosystem, which introduces an open instruction set architecture designed to encourage innovation and collaboration across hardware and software communities. With the introduction of the RVA23 profile, RISC-V platforms are becoming more standardized and software-friendly, enabling better compatibility for operating systems, development tools, and applications. These improvements help reduce fragmentation and make it easier for developers to build and distribute applications that run reliably across multiple RISC-V devices. This session explores how emerging RISC-V platforms—particularly new developer systems and laptops—are helping expand the reach of Linux applications and create new opportunities for developers. We will discuss how standardized profiles like RVA23 support better software portability, how open hardware platforms can attract new contributors, and why growing the developer base is essential for sustaining the Linux app ecosystem. Attendees will gain insight into how hardware innovation and open-source collaboration can reinforce each other, enabling a broader and more resilient Linux ecosystem. The session will also highlight practical ways developers, distributions, and communities can participate in building a thriving Linux application landscape for the next generation of computing platforms. The Linux App Summit (LAS) brings the global Linux community together to learn, collaborate, and help grow the Linux application ecosystem. Through talks, panels, and Q&A sessions, we encourage attendees to share ideas, make connections, and join our goal of building a common app ecosystem.
