Intel has been vocally supporting Linux for years, including contributing OS code, drivers, software dev tools, and even rewrites of the OS for platforms (see Tizen). They were doing this long before MS's decline.
- bluecalm 13y agoAlso free C compiler for Linux which costs 400$ (or w/e it is now) on Windows :( It was major pain untile recently when gcc port caught up with visual studio compiler as there was nothing else with decent performance and C99+ support.
- ansible 13y agoWhatever else, I do appreciate Intel's efforts in this area. My home desktop/Mythbox/media server/game machine is running all open source code (there might be a few binary blobs for device firmware though). Of course, all that available source code hasn't helped me debug a video de-interlacing issue with Intel's hardware accelerated video decoding... the next ingredients I need are time and motivation. :-)
