There's no such thing as free speech under at-will employment. All the ya-hoos complaining about "cancel culture" seem oddly disinterested in materially improving the situation....
...and break stuff? The editor has got to be aware of how that ends, lmao. The Silicon Valley ethos is the EXACT opposite of the reputation of "german engineering". I hope they don't get suckered into thinking Musk is bringing some kind of better way of doing things in any general sense, that would be a major loss to the world.
I've found the wayland server to be a great experience with intel—the only weird bits I've seen is full-screen noise on firefox and poor support for high dpi, the latter of which is even shittier under X11. The server is really very usable nowadays.
AMD's ok if you have the room for the discrete card, but I wish they would invest more in integrated on-board chips.
My experience with linux is that the nvidia drivers and support are the worst of the bunch, and if I had a nickle every time I could trace a kernel panic through their driver I'd get a very nice lunch. Their popularity seems to be driven primarily by exclusive access to CUDA APIs and windows gaming. Nouveau is OK for accelerated 2d but is hardly in the same ballpark as the AMD drivers.
That said I just picked up a quadro (not my choice, came with a prebuilt NUC) and I've been pleased to find that it "just works" on freebsd (I use it to realtime transcode video), so clearly great experiences are possible and I don't want to be needlessly harsh.
Personally, I'm dying for a discrete intel card. I can't recall any hiccups with intel chipsets, ever, and that matters WAY more to me than raw performance.
