They’ve always designed around ensuring good Linux support with their component choices and support of fwupd, but their marketing focused on being repairable and upgradable, unlike companies like System76, who explicitly sell their laptops as Linux laptops. It seems they’ve recently started advertising their Linux support more, possibly due to their partnership to have Ubuntu pre-installed, possibly due to seeing just how many Linux users they already had or possibly due to the number of people switching from Windows to Linux.

Just like Ubuntu and several other distros they have a server focused variant

I think that I might have got some other project (maybe all the GTA III, VC, SA takedowns) and the openmicrowave android fork stopping development and getting taken down mixed together

OpenMW is still being updated? I thought it got DMCA’d by Bethesda a few years ago

To add RTX 30XX series doesn’t support AV1 encode, only decode, so any AV1 encoding would have to be done on the CPU (better to use h.264 or HEVC for hardware encode in OBS)
