I can confirm this is not just in the land of burgers. Back in the war from October to December, I fleed to Germany and went to school there, and the stuff I saw where absolutely disgusting: kids were using ipads (ibads) given to them by the school, the computers ran windows on them, and every time even a single task came up, they would directly resort to artificial unintelligence. When the “ceasefire” started and I finally went back to Lebanon, most of the kids were using Artificial unintelligence to write their essays as well. I don’t blame these kids, they don’t know better, they don’t know how artificial unintelligence is trained from the stolen work of the people, they don’t know what non-free software is, and they don’t know how these devices/software are tracking their every move. It’s up to the school’s to teach them such and schools are doing a terrible job both in America and internationally.

Welcome :)

Hello, I use the Linux-Libre kernel. As for the claims, I haven’t heard any distro-specific kernel before, but it might be. After all, the Linux kernel is GPL, so I wouldn’t be surprised if users edited/removed/added code for better battery life / performance, but the real question isn’t if it’s true, it’s “Is this worth my time?” Recompiling the kernel is a hastle, so it’s best to research how much you will gain by switching on your specific hardware before you actually switch. Another thing to keep in mind is how much experience you have with documentation. When I started using GNU+Linux, I would do such things and be surprised it didn’t work after copying someone on peertube. I’m not saying you can’t watch tutorials, just don’t rely on them too much, and always double check information if you are going to use one.
