RISC-V
An open instruction set architecture for processors that anyone may implement without a licence fee.
In more detail
RISC stands for reduced instruction set computer: a small set of simple instructions. Linux runs on RISC-V alongside x86_64 and AArch64, and packages are built separately for each.
