Has anyone talked about Linux compatibility of these GPUs ?
- mfrw 4y agooff topic - cool username :) @2Gkashmiri
- 2Gkashmiri 4y agoyeah, post 2019, after the "internet" ban of 9 months was lifted, i was given the privilege of accessing 2G internet so that is the "backstory" of this username....
- mfrw 4y agoIts relatable; I belong to the same part of the world.
- 2Gkashmiri 4y agooooo.. nice... don't know about you but i've been online for too long and been burned many times to not maintain a single identity online. like, back in 2010 i think, this guy warns me "WTF are you tweeting incendiary stuff with your name..." and i was like "holyyyyyy sh...." since then i have maintained watertight identities across any public platform i join with handles i never recycle". i obviously don't post incendiary stuff nowadays because of being busy with work but the habit has stuck.
- 2Gkashmiri 4y agobtw, i was discussing tldr with a friend recently and to find you a maintainer, nice work dude.
- TingPing 4y agoIt's going to be supported upstream Linux/Mesa but nobody has tested/reported on it publicly. I'd expect growing pains but good support.
- bobdvb 4y agoYup, the code is already in: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Intel-DG2-Mesa-22.0 https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Intel-DG... https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Linux-5.18-DRM https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Linux-5.... https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Intel-Linux-5.18-DG2-G12 https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Intel-Li...
- geerlingguy 4y agoI believe in a WAN show appearance last Friday, one of the Intel engineers mentioned it was in the pipeline, and I believe it was hinted they'd be more along the lines of AMD than Nvidia in terms of the open sourcedness.
- schmorptron 4y agoThe Intel iGPUs have open source drivers in the Linux kernel, don't they? In that regard they're even better than amd since you don't need to get proprietary drivers to do compute stuff.
- ece 4y agoI've never had any problems with Intel drivers on their current Xe SOCs (ie. i7-1165G7), so the discreet GPUs with Xe should be pretty good I would think.
- Havoc 4y agoWould make strategic sense to be fully open. Even if it can’t 100% compete on performance this would give them an edge
