PipeWire wins in the feature-set game, which is why it is being preferred over PulseAudio.

According to the inventor of PipeWire, this is the wrong perspective to take. PipeWire is preferred over PulseAudio as a server, clients (apps) should continue to use the PulseAudio/JACK APIs because the PipeWire API is not designed for general use (it's designed for things like pipewire-pulse and pipewire-jack).

Not littering.

Mostly the IT stuff (server builds, networking, etc.) and especially the home stuff. I'm a fiend for information, and it was a pretty digestible format.

I know a well-connected resort liaison in South Africa. This is what happens on game reserves with predators/scavengers, nature has a way of cleaning up the evidence.

I recently switched away from the Legion 5 15ARH05: AMD APU+NVIDIA. The thing with laptops is that you are at the mercy of the system integrator. They are able to integrate the GPU in weird ways and often do. For me the external monitor wouldn't work without the proprietary NVIDIA drivers installed. The NVIDIA drivers caused all sorts of problems, from backlight woes to failure to resume from standby (which worked fine without the drivers installed).

If you do go with an NVIDIA machine, go with one that is built for Linux. I switched to an all AMD (I really don't want to deal with NVIDIA bullshit) System76, but I hear their NVIDIA story is pretty good.

Do not buy a Windows+NVIDIA laptop and put Linux on it - unless you get a glowing recommendation for a specific model.

You should install the open source System76 modules for the best experience (not required): https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware

Linux actually stands for "Linux is not Unix." Recursive acronyms were a bit of a geek inside joke at the time.

That's a Stallman rant/copypasta. Calling it GNU/Linux isn't very common outside of his fans.

Linux is a Unix, but Unix is not Linux. Solus is a Unix, as is MacOS (a really bad one), and BSD.

why hasn't anyone else said anything,

This question has been asked a million times. It has been shown time and time again that whether more people come forward has no correlation to how common something is. This is mostly because it's really hard to do so while being bullied (which is really just abuse).

Even an outside investigator might have issues getting the real story, and is biased due to being on the same payroll as all the other employees. I have had personal experience with this: an outside investigator called in to resolve a conflict with a person whose bullying had previously caused multiple people to quit. It was resolved "amicably" (which is to say not at all). An employer only gives a damn so far as their bottom line goes, and that goes for Linus too. This investigator is going to come in and tip-toe around LMG's and Linus's involvement in this, mark my words.

Again, to summarize, Linus saying the things didn't happen is exactly why people don't come forward: my word vs the boss.

I was an avid fan since 2015, fortunately I adopted their perspective about shitty companies and what to do about them. I don't preorder, I don't tolerate shitty ethics, I don't purchase half-finished videos/products, which means I certainly don't consume LTT content.

Madison is a hero for stepping up like this.

It's not that they hate it, they just don't care at all.

Also, you should use your distro's prepackaged driver - not the Nvidia installer.
