Well, yeah.  It's not like it can be "Made for Windows"  :)

In all seriousness, most of the RISC-V interest (and volume production) is
on the microcontroller side of the market, targeting various real-time OSes.

So it's not really "Made for Linux" so much as "Made for Real Operating 
Systems(tm)" -- covering hardare features like support for more than a 
couple of megabytes of RAM and a real MMU.

Anyway.
