As somebody who recently sent back a notebook because Linux driver support for Radeon is abysmal and now is a happy Intel graphics user, this doesn't surprise me at all. More power to Intel.
- JDShu 14y agoThe dismissals have nothing to do with the quality of the radeon graphics drivers, as described by the last paragraph in the article.
- jklio 14y agoThe same is true for me, I will continue to buy Intel CPUs and motherboards, for both desktop and mobile, until someone else takes open source graphics drivers as seriously as they do.
- VMG 14y agoor even drivers in generals - I'd still prefer closed but working NVIDIA drivers over the crap that ATI puts out
- stephengillie 14y agoThis has been a major pain point for the Linux community since the Radeon days. It's such a shame, because ATI had a huge opportunity to steal that market from nVidia back then. Instead, maximizing value away from users and toward shareholders left us with a video-diminished Linux community.
- acdha 14y agoGiven how many thousands of dollars we steered to Intel because of it, I'm not sure this maximized shareholder value either. Few things businesses do are actually big-picture decisions.
