Judging from Debian:

- Firefox: not quite, but the hurdle is minor, see below. Will be fixed when there's a demand.

- LibreOffice: no.

- VLC: yes.

- ScummVM: builds, but fails 1 of 279 tests. Hopefully soon?

- Python 3: Yes.

I'll find the relevant Firefox email thread for you.



Cool, thank you. You can probably see what I mean: if everything from this list works fine it makes a desktop computer sufficient for me and many other people. I imply most of the classic text-mode tools already work or can be ported with little difficulty. I've forgotten to mention Visual Studio Code but I understand it's going to be slightly harder, it hasn't been long since we've gotten an ARM port.


Sorry, I forgot to update you on the Firefox situation: https://lists.debian.org/debian-riscv/2020/01/msg00000.html
