It would be nice to have a fully libre distro for riscv cpus.

I agree!
My initial look into it suggested that, like armhf and aarch64, we'd
need a separate image for each riscv64 board. I eventually found this¹
page for installing Debian on the StarFive VisionFive1 board (limited
run, poorly supported upstream), which suggested that the vendor u-boot
image should be able to load an EFI image and boot that way.
Playing with this is high on my todo list.

Guix too has such a Visionfive image but for V2. It works, although
last time `guix pull` failed for me, but I believe pull randomly
succeeds on some days.
