Valid to an extent. I've personally experienced various audits whether for ISO, PCI or SOC and the quality of the auditor certainly does vary though I've not encountered one I would consider incompetent; the audits have always been rigorous. I've not personally seen bribery though I have seen where an auditor might relax how aggressively they look for issues over the years of getting to know the people and quality of the company.
I currently have a system76 (not happy, story for another time) and am in the market for a new gaming laptop this time specifically looking for amd cpu / gpu - any recommendations? I prefer Kubuntu should drivers be an issue.
