What is the status of reclocking of this generations with open source kernel modules? Did Nvidia opened up enough for these cards to run at full power instead of the lowest clocks like it used to be with nouveau and the previous generations of Nvidia GPUs?

This is the right decision. It's absolutely crazy what Russian government do right now, and not only government - around 70% citizens believe in propaganda, and honestly wish Ukrainians death. There is just no point to release this DLC until Russia citizens change their mind, and I don't expect it to happen anytime soon.

device that will do basic tasks
Topic of this article is desktop feature, and devices I talking about is proper Linux workstations for just £100 (for instance Station P1 cost is 107 GBP; that include case, PSU, WiFi antenna, eMMC storage).

And even for basic tasks there is other interesting alternatives (for example FriendlyElec [External Link] have wide range of products for such as use-cases).

Raspberry Pi OS gets some big updates, possible to run experimental Wayland

Honestly, it's a pity that RPi get all the fame while there is much more interesting boards with features like NVME support (many RK3399-based boards, such as Libre Computer Renegade Elite or NanoPC-T4) onboard USB Type-C or, you know, TWO TIMES HIGHER PERFORMANCE (like ODROID-N2+) is mostly unnoticed by media.

As for the topic - in my opinion it's better to use Canonical's image for RPi, it had working Wayland for at least a year (and you'll get smooth upgrades as a bonus). There is also Armbian that cover more than 100 boards, and now RPi too. There is also UEFI implementations for several boards (such as RPi4B and ROCKPro64) that allow to boot aarch64 installation media from USB flash drive that was intended for usage with UEFI-based boards (such as Avatek Ampere Alta Workstation and HoneyComb LX2 Workstation).

I've been able to play it via proton without issues, good performance (50~60fps) with almost everything maxed out on a gtx 1060 3GB, 1080p
Cool, but how to import Captain Spirit save game from Proton to Linux version of the Life is Strange 2?

Quoting: ShmerlImprovement, but far from enough to make Nouveau work properly.
They don't need Nouveau to work properly, they need Nouveau to work enough to justify keeping certain kernel interfaces in place, to prevent cases like this one [External Link].

Like EA sabotage themselves every year, yet they earn more money every year?
