See the RedHat graphics director here: https://linuxactionnews.com/240 He says that Nvidia's interest intensified in the last 3 months. Probably Steam Deck challenging their monopoly is making them uneasy.

I had to use a MacbookPro for 3 years because our IT was too lazy to support Linux. I hated every minute of it. Finally our it caved and we transitioned our dev team to Ubuntu on ThinkPads. Ubuntu is much more user user friendly than Mac

I have a better idea: let's not use Google. In my experience, Duckduckgo and Brave Search are both competitive and sometimes even better than Google Search.

I didn't know cameras were an issue. OpenCamera just works for me with no issues.

Did they? Or was it Western perceptions of the Russian intentions? Ukraine is a huge country with 40 million people. One does not simply take over that in a few days.
