@scottalanmiller ElementaryOS doesn't have Desktop icons and a desktop folder.
But not because of a problem maintaining their existing system and a lack of interest in their product. It's an intentional design decision, at least.
And was exactly the same with GNOME.
Not according to the article, they were stuck with dropping it due to a lack of ability to maintain it. Not out of a desire to drop it; and obviously they had planned it as the use case from the beginning. Very different things. And that's from their own statements, not mine.
I literally quoted the line that said it was done on purpose. They disabled it for the default experience. It wasn't maintained because you had to use a customization tool to turn it back on.

Nvidia may be trying to prevent GeForce GPUs from being used in data centers!
We stopped using NVIDIA. We just use AMD now. We get better performance from our RHEL workstations and they cost much less.

I bet CAD stations or similar engineering type things.

Ya z840/440 workstations. For FEA and CFD work.
Also a handful of Dells with NVMe drives but I forget which model workstation.

Not sure why Microsoft couldn't detect if you are using Intel or AMD processors and then turn off when its a AMD processor.

Microsoft involved. Logic does not exist in that world.

Because AMD is affected by the part that Windows has to add.

Hmmm... why is the OS patching for Intel at all, rather than pushing the microcode?

MS has some really insideous deals with Intel. They easy have no choice but to cripple themselves on AMD to meet their deal made with Intel.

It would of made more sense to compare Xen and KVM.

Yes, very weird comparison.
