Faizul "Piju" 9M2PJU: Linux Driver for RTL8832CU and RTL8852CU USB WiFi Adapters
The rtl8852cu Linux driver (version 1.19.2.1, updated as of May 10, 2024) supports USB WiFi adapters based on the RTL8832CU and RTL8852CU chipsets. While Realtek continues to develop this out-of-kernel driver, it is important to note that it is not fully compliant with Linux Wireless Standards. This makes it more suitable for specialized use cases, such as embedded systems, rather than general desktop or server environments.
For most users, adapters with in-kernel drivers are recommended due to their stability and ease of use. However, if you’re working with an adapter supported by this driver, here’s everything you need to know.

TechRadar ☛ Changing a few lines of code in Linux could apparently save hyperscalers billions, research claims, but I am not convinced
Data centers reportedly account for between 2-4% of total electricity consumption around the world, something hyperscalers are understandably looking to reduce wherever possible.
Potential solutions include implementing next-generation architectures like Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) and employing advanced cooling techniques.
