a real "Oh no! Anyways..." kind of moment
Whelp, it's over boys and girls. Back to Dirty Linux.
giggity
You're a dirty little penguin, aren't you~
(what the fuck is wrong with me lmao)
There's plenty of wrong with you Wolfie 😂
Hope this doesn't lead to poorer Intel driver support for Linux 😢
Yeah that. Especially their ARC-GPUs
i must admit, as someone who has been using Linux (on Intel platforms for that matter) for over a decade i didn’t know this existed. that said, this seems like a huge misstep. maybe it wasn’t a widespread product, but having a reference implementation seems like a no brainer. maybe i’m missing something.
It wasn't just a regular distro. It had some package related shenanigans or something. And I doubt it was ever updated beyond GNOME 41.
Its not really the most depressing news of the week. Trump opened his mouth many times this week. But yeah, clear Linux never even felt like a viable option. It had good performance but you wouldnt notice that in a day to day desktop experience anyway.
Shutting down is a bit of an understatement. They're immediately dropping support, based on their own statement.
Oh no, Intel was such a leader when it came to Linux use....What will the world do now? Everything is over!
