    Phoronix: Some Intel Linux Driver Maintainers Have Left The Company

    With the recent Intel layoffs and early retirement / buyout packages, I have been curious to see what impact it will have on the open-source/Linux software engineers at the company. There's at least a few driver maintainers that have unfortunately departed the company but at least no major exodus of their well respected Linux software engineers...

    I didn't use any of the projects mentioned in the article, but kind-of curious how this might affect Mesa and the general OpenGL/VK graphics stack. I'm still interested in an Arc GPU at some point.

      I too really hope this doesn't touch arc. Daily using intel hasn't been superb or anything, but it has gotten my my hopes up for the future for sure.

        If Intel continues allocating budget for bribes (ekhm, financial incentives to keep AMD in unfavourable position in ex by paying motherboad manufacturers to offer fewer AMD based variants or offer AMD hardware only in uglier colours), they deserve to burn and crash. Intel developers should look for better place to spend their careers, Intel is not worth it.

          if pat is really keen on arc like he has talked about as being apart of intel's future, along with the rumors, then their gpu division as a whole might be more safe than others. especially considering they already had a shake up when arc failed to break into the market with a lot of people already fired (like raja koduri) / laid off / moved to other departments.

            was arc a failure? My understanding of it was that it was rather succsessful. While their dgpus specifcally haven't been superb, they did make some decent initial sales, and well, we are still waiting for a new product launch. arc has been as far as I can tell, really good for their igpus. And with intel's data center, consumer, and igpu all sharing the same cores and techstack for GPUs, intel has positioned themselves quite strongly.

              amd should recruit the good ones of them.
              amd npu and gpu compute software needs lots of quality improvement

                Hopefully AMD and Valve gets them!

                Fuck Intel, and AMD for still refusing to give us control panels similar tot their Windows ones!
                I understand that there's work to do to make the their Linux drivers have the missing pieces, but you have to start somewhere and they are not even starting it.
                If they did in the past, we would've had them by now.
                Having the possibility to choose just the display resolution and refresh rate is clearly not enough!

                  I agree. It's alive and it's improving. Here are some peculiar throwbacks on Arc's success.

                    intel doesn't even have all the sensors wired up yet lmao, a little early to be asking for a control panel
