To post examples where the OP is a fucking idiot.
Posting madthumbs content here feels like cheating
Are they a well known troll or just a lunatic?
Definitely both.
Yup
Linux clearly stole their girlfriend.
And shagged their mom. And their dad. And their dog too.
The point about a single dev taking out multiple programs isn't exactly wrong (relevant xkcd). But it's a very entitled attitude. If part of the stack is that critical to you (especially for business), maybe consider supporting it or contributing to it.
The real issue is knowing when this is the case. Has anyone seen a solution for that?

It's also not unique to F/OSS. This could well happen in a business, and often does.
Has anyone seen a solution for that?
Short answer, anything that does dependency tracking and pinning. If a new release of a library comes out, you shouldn't just upgrade to it without testing.
On a desktop Linux OS, I would expect the distro maintainers to do that testing before it gets pushed to their repos (as an example).
The sole wifi driver maintainer for Linux just stepped down 💀
Poor thing had a hard time installing Ubuntu
Madthumbs - the account named after a defunct porn site, creates a “Linux sucks” community (from which I was banned on day 1 lol) to spread lies about shit that’s already solved, or things that are a problem for any OS/computer hardware as an exclusively Linux problem and anyone takes that shit seriously?
Dude’s got mental problems.
I've been using this nick since long before the porn site. (Genesis xband network) You aren't contesting any of those 'lies' though are you, so it's just an allegation (possibly a lie). Your obsession with conspiracy theorist stuff is a known mental problem that afflicts ~20% of the population.
There are hidden transaction fees involved in purchasing and returning goods, and it's the only way to pay online. Hope your day gets better. Beliefs in conspiracy theories can be frightful and depressing.
Madthumbs is just a misunderstood artist.
So capable of making sentences but still full of the dumbest thing possible. It's impressive how stupid madthumbs truly is.
Sometimes I check lemmy just for the antics.
I followed that community for entertainment purposes. They are off the meds and/or a shill being paid by some unconventional means.
Other fun spots to watch from a distance:
Vegan communities
Yes, but the histeria they are every time reacting with makes it significantly less funny.

Thank you for the other suggestions, please feel free to post.
Odd, because with TLP I can actually reduce battery wear by setting limits. I don't know how that makes OEM decisions complicated? They chose to not support Linux. Other companies like Framework and Lenovo implement Linux support through some select models and offer to install Ubuntu or Fedora. I understand having a zero software warranty for Linux, but no firmware/EC support? I remember owning a shitty (as in HP) HP Envy x360 laptop (RIP) that couldn't even wake up from ACPI sleep on whatever kernel Mint was using at the time. I think it was at the time I heard a rumor they just weren't implementing ACPI (open standard) properly.
