From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

They seem more concerned with their bonuses and stock buybacks. In August Intel announced that they'd be laying off 15k workers to "save" $10 billion US. They're also cutting back on R&D for the same reason. I guess the MBAs decided that losing customers by hamstringing Linux users is an acceptable loss. Not like folks won't forget about this six months from now, anyway...
Must be nice to know that no matter how bad you shit your bed... Daddy Sam will take money out of peasants pockets to make you right...
C'mon bro just one more stock buyback bro just one more stimulus I'm good for it.
Who needs employees when you have stocks?
People join companies, but leave managers.
"Some" appears to be 3. How many are left?
I got a intel cpu will i be fine
Possibly not, for a multitude of reasons...
Oh
If 13th or 14th gen, only if you get lucky and update to the microcode hotfix. GL
i have i3 12100f which is 12gen
That's not affected by the relatively serious issues plaguing more recent Intel CPUs so it's probably fine. If it was the more recent generations, there are some major and probably physical defects causing problems for those.
Oh yh
Uh oh, I have an Intel ARC.
Prior to this news....how has it been?
Pretty good if you stick to linux. Better than NVidia since that's what I had before.
Rip xeon servers (they will probably be fine but still)
Two things are happening: intel is trying to figure out how to deal with likely existential problems and their extremely mature product base doesn’t need those maintainers enough to offset supplying early retirement/buyout.
