What do you mean by switching to open-source kernel modules?

Some time ago, the entire NVIDIA driver stack was proprietary, but recently the kernel modules have been made open-source for new graphics cards. Only older GPUs still use closed-source modules. If I’m not mistaken, GPUs from the 2000 series and newer have switched to open-source modules.

Sure. I used openSUSE as my daily driver for a couple of years, and after switching to open-source kernel modules, a common problem was when the modules would be updated but their versions wouldn’t match those of nvidia-video or other NVIDIA packages. Or when the kernel would be updated but the kernel modules would lag behind (which happened even more often.) Because of this, some components would get updated while others wouldn’t, leaving you with dGPU drivers that didn’t work.

I had to roll back the system using snapper and lock packages until the problem was resolved.

Anything but Ubuntu, honestly. I have a few friends who chose Ubuntu as their first distro and after using it for a couple of weeks went back to Windows. Some of them still refuse to give Linux a second chance.

openSUSE is good as long as you have an AMD GPU. For users of NVIDIA GPUs, openSUSE is a headache because of the constant mismatch between the open kernel modules and the rest of the driver packages. I had to use a script that checked whether the packages were matching each other before updating. Otherwise, the system could break for weeks until the drivers in the repository were updated.

How can a government enforce such ruling? It is not the same as blocking the websites you don’t like.

Can you elaborate?

What do you mean? The new design has been released in 2.0. It isn’t in in beta anymore.

Not entirely true. You only need to ask for the permission if you want to use the photo commercially:

Any professional use of images showing the illuminated Eiffel Tower therefore requires prior authorization from SETE and may be subject to the payment of fees, depending on the nature of the project, the method of use, and the media plan.

Private use does not require prior approval.

Any HDD/SDD as well. They really want you to use a device that can only connect to the cloud and is basically useless without it.

My favorite one.

I misread the name at first and got confused.

I don’t want my WM of choice to be X11-based.
