What I heard on the ground floor from various system integrators, components manufacturers, and other companies, is memory supply has been tied up for all of 2026, and that shortages could last as long as until 2031.

Sure it's scuttlebutt but wouldn't surprise me as being true.

This is for one purpose if it's true: To force consumers to rent everything, including their computer, so they can be surveilled.

Don't use GeForce NOW, even if there's a Linux client in the works, because it's surveilled too.

Surveillance isn't the reason, it's a larger and more consistent profit margin.

I'm sorry, the game streaming platform can't be bothered to make a client for Linux??
