As part of the Tarsier Projects to help building the software ecosystem upon RISC-V desktop devices, this unofficial riscv64 porting project of Slackware does not aim to support any other architecture than riscv64, and support for riscv32 is not a priority either, so does other distro like Debian/Ubuntu and Fedora that targets riscv64 only and not targets riscv32.
ToDo list
- Office Suite
- Web Browser
- Media Player
- Run on Real Hardware

Building of Hollalinux is starting from Slackware 15.0 release source, combining some upgrades from the current branch up to August 2022. Packages from SlackBuilds.org are also planned to be built and provided in binary form, since the performance of RISC-V hardwares and emulators are rather low at the time.
Porting work will be carried out with care to not break anything that already running well on other architectures supported by Slackware such as x86 and arm.
