Don't see the point of this standard which runs over an inferior type of networking

Inferior how? Matter is not comparable to Z-Wave. Z-Wave is a mesh network, Matter is just a standard which would allow Alexa, Siri, Google, etc. to control the same devices. To allow Z-Wave like functionality, Matter is able to work on top of Thread, which is in fact superior to Z-Wave.

is brought to us by the companies that created the interoperability problem in the first place

Of course. You don’t want to be the company known for refusing to participate in an open standard, even if you secretly don’t want it to succeed. Anyways, there’s no reason for companies to not want an open standard for controlling smart devices, since it literally helps everyone support more devices for basically no effort once you add support for Matter.

Do you have source on this? Never heard of it.

Never trust 1 person on Youtube. Watch multiple videos from different channels.

Intel ARC GPUs are actually very good. They just tried being a little too based by saying fuck you to HDMI and DirectX, both market leaders. They only support DP (HDMI is actually converted to DP in ARC GPUs), and only cared to properly implement Vulkan drivers.

What part of the OS should managed the packages?

The OS package manager. This is already a thing with Python in apt and pacman, where it will give you a fat warning if you try to install a package through pip instead of the actual OS package manager (i.e. pacman -Syu python-numpy instead of pip install numpy)

Leave it to the modern journalist to spin a loss as a win. Comedic at best.

For this to work with a desktop PC, you would need to connect your display cable to your iGPU instead of your dGPU. The driver should take care of the rest. This might yield lower performance when using dGPU for processing (probably unnoticeable, depending on circumstances).

Windows 11 is objectively the better system, it just has too much garbage as well.

That’s like saying clock rate and core count are fake terms. Sure, by themselves they might not mean much, but they’re part of a system that directly benefits from them being high.

The issue with teraflops metric is that it is inversely proportional (almost linearly) to the bit-length of the data, meaning that teraflops@8-bit is about 2x(teraflops@16-bit). So giving teraflops without specifying the bit-length it comes from is almost useless. Although you could make the argument that 8-bit is too low for modern games and 64-bit is too high of a performance trade off for accuracy gain, so you can assume the teraflops from a gaming company are based on 16-bit/32-bit performance.

Because it will always use X11 unless you tell it not to.

A lot of Wayland compositors have a GLES 2.0 renderer which should be supported by ancient GPUs. If you try Vulkan based compositors you might be out of luck.
