As mentioned, userland apps require patches to use GPU acceleration. No distro currently has those patches, so it’s all going to be using software rendering and thus slow.
The patches available are for old software versions. Some can be ported forward, but the most important patches are for a version of Mesa. It’s not very simple to forward port those patches as Mesa underwent a major restructuring of their source after the patches were released.
Until the GPU drivers are mainlined, we are stuck using certain versions of software. If your expecting Rasperry PI like desktop experience on riscv, your about a year or two to early
