This is essentially why I'm confused. All he's doing is setting up pre-existing drivers, any chimp with access to ChatGPT can do that.

I don't see that he's bringing anything noteworthy to the table, but I've repeatedly heard people talk as though he's going to bring better battery life to Linux through omarchy.

merit doesn't matter

people want to get laptops that work well and have good battery life, whether this was easy or hard to achieve means naught

Whilst that is technically a sentence, I don't think you've actually said anything
sounds like a you problem
