i'd like an alternative to linux and BSD that has better RISC compatibility

What exactly do you mean by that? Both the Linux kernel and several of the BSD systems run on multiple RISC achitectures.

Maybe a typo for RISC-V? Still doesn't make a lot of sense though...

Yeah, IIRC FreeBSD supports riscv and Fedora actually ships a full image for it.
