Can somebody elaborate on what the problems are?

Western tanks are built to protect the crew, while Soviet/Russian are built to advance regardless of anything without much consideration about crew safety (typical Soviet mentality). The turret throw is due to the shells being stored right under the crew, beneath the turret, and when those detonate (which is quite easy with modern anti tank weapons), everything is thrown magnificently into the air. Crew has no way to survive. It's different with western tanks, where shells are stored more safely and such a hit usually doesn't evaporate the crew.

They also throw their turrets much better when hit.

They might work, but then one is bound to be online. Also different computers might have different configurations and that is something to pay attention to as well. Alternative is a synchronisation to source (nextcloud sounds a good fit) but then you might bump to synchronisation conflicts and such. Both ways will produce a lot of traffic unless you redirect creation of build artifacts to a local directory. Which might not be always possible.

But does it mean they own Linux? They list (support I guess) a lot of projects, including RISC-V. BTW smart move from RISC-V

A remote machine might not be always possible, such as when you develop mobile apps or when you have more than one monitor available. Sadly all options have problems. And (auto) pushing is not an option when you work on a team project where pushing non compilable code is not a welcome option.

That sounds like an advice, not something official? Also why is an open source project affected by US sanctions? It's not an US open source project, or is it?

I stop reading when they mention capacity in watts.

I'd really like to see the criteria for delisting people, though. As Russia is not the only one waging wars, there are worse countries out there. I guess it all boils down to Linus being from Finland.

If you're lucky, you get free energy!

And one doesn't even need two NICs, right.

As others said, both work just fine with any GPU and Intel had serious issues lately with crashes. I'd say go with AMD unless you want higher power usage as Intel chips fare worse when it comes to perf/watt metrics. That said Intel CPUs might have an advantage at single threaded loads, but again, at much higher power use. AMD also tends to keep CPU sockets for longer thus less motherboard changes are required if you upgrade the CPU. You might also consider reading reviews on serious technical websites as it might give you inside into what performance and prices to expect.

Update: On more (implicitly expressed consequence) - due to Intel's much higher power requirements, they are more difficult to cool down - more expensive (air) coolers and quite possibly water cooling required.
