Kinda sounds like they have just made their own proprietary lens mount? I'm not a good enough photographer to know if this is a good system or not.
Tegra was used in android tablets, I had a couple. Not sure what the licence status was, but it was supported in cyanogen, so they must have had to make some changes to the kernel for that?
Certainly some of the stuff the upstreamed was to support their drivers, but they would have also been working on other more general things to support their super computers and other HPC stuff.
They also had a chipset for intel motherboards (which I can't find anything about), which may have had some work required?
I don't really know exactly the scope of all the work, but they have been in the top 20 companies for kernel development for a long time, and I assuming it can't just be supporting their own drivers.
Its hard to find the stats, but from here: https://bootlin.com/community/contributions/kernel-contributions/ you can click through and get breakdowns per kernel release: https://web.archive.org/web/20160803012713/remword.com/kps_result/3.8_whole.html
That's an unfortunate "Would you rather..". Hopefully the research pans out though, could be good news for both groups if their lucky.
My memory is fuzzy, but they have had their tegra SOC since the 2000s, and somewhat more recently they have been a big player in data center networking.
And ever since CUDA became a thing they have been a big name in HPC and super computers, which is usually Linux based.
So they have done a lot of behind the scenes Linux work (and possibly BSD?).
You can also use them to test the voltage, similar to testing a 9v battery.
For example, a library in Vietnam wouldn't necessarily be dependent on an American software company for their day-to-day work.
A library in Vietnam isn't going to have their own kernel team, they'll just pay Redhat or similar. And when their distro inevitably releases a broken kernel they'll break everyone's system as well.
The problem isnt Microsoft, its that no one is doing QA anymore.
Nvidia have been big kernel contributers for a long time, even before the "fuck you nvidia" thing. They hold their graphics driver close to their chest, but have done a lot of other work for the kernel.
Very weird. Maybe its the client. Can't see it in the browser either
Ah, I see whats happened, you didnt put anything in the square brackets:

should be:

resulting in:
Psst, you link has gone missing

Or the stats are just bad. There is a lot of volatility in those numbers.
Also, crowd strike predominately affected enterprises, which aren't going to pivot to Linux in a month, it would be a many year long plan and rollout.
I kinda like the keyboard shortcuts for i3/sway, but wish there was some level of mouse integration/polish like gnome. Will try forge, thanks!
