Which card and desktop environment? The only bug I still experience is occasional desktop flickering. TBH Archlinux and NixOS have the easiest Nvidia experience because IIRC I think Ubuntu still defaults to Nouveau?

Good, it's been long enough for GPU manufacturers to ensure proper Wayland support and with the exception of EOL Nvidia cards (Kepler and older I think), everything mostly works on Wayland. wlroots + Nvidia still has some issues like f

Prop 13 means local municipalities need to extract higher fees and taxes on new construction compared to existing property. Higher development costs/prices cause dead weight loss and therefore block/reduce new development.

The theory of (LVT) land value tax is that it replaces other taxes. LVT has less or no dead weight loss so it's a more efficient tax. > If there's a loophole such as lack of sales tax for car washes, fix that, but let the pla

I really hate sounding like a broken record but this is just another instance of how low property taxes and the absence of land value taxes massively benefits low-value businesses. The real business of car washes is real estate, it's p

Did you just use standard Yocto or similar tools to build such images? Are there standard daemons for managing hardware watchdogs (besides systemd since that's too simple as you say)? I think there's a lot of niche knowledge in th

AFAIK ITAR applies to US Persons so that would be how the US is able to enforce that worldwide. A better example would be all the KYC and other laws surrounding the use of US currency.
