I agree. As a Linux user who favors Intel hardware due to their Linux support, I gotta say the future looks bleak.

I'm confused here. Are you talking about Intel CPUs or GPUs? And does AMD not have excellent Linux support for their own CPUs and GPUs?

		> Intel CPUs or GPUs Both. Also things like sound cards, network cards, peripherals in general. My happiness and stability while using Linux has been well correlated with the number of devices with Intel in the name. Every single device without Intel invariably becomes a major pain in my ass every single time. It's gotten to the point I assume it will just work if it's Intel. > And does AMD not have excellent Linux support for their own CPUs and GPUs? They're making a lot of progress but Intel is still years ahead of them. Earlier this year I was researching PC parts for a build and discovered AMD was still working on merging functionality like on die temperature sensors into the kernel. It makes me think I won't have a full feature set on Linux if I buy one of their processors.

Well, AMD isn't going away yet, and they do seem to have finally released the advantage of open-source drivers. But that's still bad very for competition and prices.
