Sure, but open drivers have been AMDs selling point for a decade, and even nVidia is finally showing signs of opening up. So it's bit dubious if these new Intels really can compete on this front, at least for very long.
- whalesalad 2y agoI welcome a new competitor. Sucks to really only have one valid option on Linux atm. My 6600 is a little long in the tooth. I only have it becuase it is dead silent and runs a 5K display without issue - but I would definitely like to upgrade it for something that can hold its own with ML.
- talldayo 2y ago> Sucks to really only have one valid option on Linux atm. I don't think that's a super fair shake? Intel iGPUs have been around for a while if you had a laptop chip or iGPU-enabled desktop chip. They've supported Linux just fine for ages, and will fill any non-3D application you might have. And Nvidia chips are quite good on Linux nowadays - Wayland has been very usable since the 535-series drivers and nearly flawless since 550. You're right to be apprehensive about proprietary GPU hardware but I think there are plenty of options on the table right now.
