There are RISC-V cores, whose designs have been published, which are capable of running a lightweight Linux distro, and even SBCs with them on. T-Head’s C906 on the Nezha board is an example.

I really like the Lichee Pi 4A, and I hope to get one when I next need to buy a computer. My computing needs are relatively light, and I think the Lichee Pi would be perfectly sufficient.
I check the Alpine repository from time to time - https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages - just to see what apps are available for RISC-V : and actually, it’s impressive to see the amount of work that has gone into rebasing apps. Godot doesn’t appear to be there for RISC-V though, sorry.
So my advice would be to realise what apps you really need, and check if they’re available yet. And if they aren’t it’s always worth contacting the app maintainer.
