Has the Nvidia screen tearing issue been fixed? I've had 2 computers with Nvidia GPUs (GTX 560 Ti & GTX 765M) and they both had awful screen tearing that I couldn't get rid of unless I disabled compositing.

To add it to Firefox search, open about:config and add a boolean value browser.urlbar.update2.engineAliasRefresh set to true. This will allow you to manually add search engines. Then open the search settings and click add. Set the URL to https://www.google.com/search?udm=14&q=%s, give it a name and click "Add Engine".

Someone got Linux to run on an Intel 4004. It does take over a week to boot though. As long as you can connect a sufficient amount of memory to a CPU, it can boot Linux. If the CPU doesn't support Linux, it can emulate a CPU that does.

That's pretty generous to assume 10% of their users are human.

The stock software will not run in Wine. I would suggest picking hardware that's supported by Piper.

I sure could use an AI that detects and blocks things like AI generated articles and sponsored search results as long as it's open source and runs locally.

That's a kernel worker for ACPI. It sounds like you may have a driver for something that is misbehaving.
