You asked for only one, not a list…

In a tv show? Lanfear from Wheel of Time, or probably half of the characters from game of thrones

Real people? Probably some pretty terrible football players, actors, or politicians who look good, I don’t really track celebrities and such

I daily drive Debian 12 on my desktop. In my massive library of steam games, I’ve yet to come across more than 3 that I haven’t been able to get to work, and the rest run remarkably better than on windows. Controller support has been more seamless than it was on windows, and I’ve gotten older games to work that never worked on windows 10. I’m not sure what experience you’re basing this on, maybe Optimus has some issues for laptops, but every desktop I’ve built in the last ~4 years has worked fine (and with nvidia GPUs, too)

As a Linux gamer with a Ryzen cpu, I think it’s likely just a correlation of people who are more tech-oriented, as windows and intel are essentially the “default” options for most computers you can buy, and the same (mostly) enthusiast circles that use Linux overlap heavily with those who build their own computers and may be more informed about hardware options, and how Ryzen has been beating Intel on price/performance essentially since launch

Of course, it makes perfect sense… they want the good publicity of saying they have ethics oversight, but don’t actually give them authority because it would prevent them from doing what they want to do (and know might be unethical)
