    Point it out explicitly in your resume. Don't expect them to figure out your github activity on their own.

    It's definitely better to have open source experience than no experience.

    It doesn't necessarily mean that. It could also be that they attempt to block the rise of new platforms, and by doing so limiting the amount of platforms that they have to compromise.

    I think technically what they sell is services related to RHEL and not it itself (correct me if I'm wrong).
    To me at least, a big problem with it is the hypocrisy. RHEL started itself by repackaging another piece of software. Why is it not OK for others to do the same to them? Especially when the gpl license allows that, and requires them to allow that!

    The Linux license allows anyone to distribute it for profit (under certain conditions). If I wanted to sell CDs with the Linux kernel I could. Wouldn't be a good business, but I could.

    Their user base is both the problem and the value they provide. The problem can be mitigated if they don't join as just one massive instance. They need to be federated within themselves as well.

    Twitter's rate limit changes have led to the death of third-party apps like Apollo

    Apollo?

    Twitter implemented a rate limit to manage their infrastructure migration to Raspberry Pi

    Raspberry pi?

    Elon Musk is supposedly fighting against the CIA and NSA, who are using Twitter for censorship

    Wha...?

    I doubt they run on windows tbh. If they take issue with with monolithic design of Linux, then windows would be an even bigger problem.

    Also, most of the devices in question are probably small controllers, incapable of running windows. (Microsoft are struggling to run it on arm so...)

    That makes sense, and yeah I imagine the problem isn't the entertainment system.

    I just don't get the the last paragraph. I don't know if using Linux affects their code being OS or not. If they're just running it on top of Linux and not modifying it, it probably won't be a GPL violation to keep it closed.

    https://www.linux.com/news/boeing-joins-the-elisa-project-as-a-premier-member-to-strengthen-its-commitment-to-safety-critical-applications/

    ELISA (Enabling Linux in Safety Applications) Project announced that Boeing has joined as a Premier member, marking its commitment to Linux and its effective use in safety critical applications. Hosted by the Linux Foundation, ELISA is an open source initiative that aims to create a shared set of tools and processes to help companies build and certify Linux-based safety-critical applications and systems

    I imagine this means they're contributing both actively and financially to Linux.

    Some thinkpads have official support for Ubuntu by the manufacturer (lenovo), which means battery optimizations out of the box, amongst other things. Might be relevant for your laptop.

    Is anyone aware of the state of modern standby (S0ix/S2idle) in ubuntu? From what I can gather, there is [support for it in the kernel](https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/pm/sleep-states.html), but I couldn't find any specifics regarding ubuntu (there is a post on reddit but the subreddit is set to private...).
