Details for early access for deepcomputes risc v motherboard are out! Preoders start at $200 for a Mobo, coolernaster case, and various sundries. I'm glad it's at an affordable price point.

Will Framework community start writing their own kernel+OS for this board?

Why? It works with both Ubuntu and Fedora, so making images of other distros should be pretty straightforward.

Linux is quite slow on every Risc-V board. Probably only fast-ish I'm aware of is Milk-V Pioneer.

Building a new OS isn't going to make RISC-V boards faster. The primary limiting factor here is the actual hardware.
