On the interwebs there is a fair amount of chatter about the opensource RISC-V boards such as SiFive HiFive.

Does anyone in the community own or have access to such boards?

Further to that - has anyone tried installing budgie-desktop on it? What is the experience like?

The reason for the question is to gauge whether 22.04 should try to have some/all support for this upcoming architecture.
