As some good news out of Intel today on the Linux/open-source side following last year’s layoffs, they’re hiring for some new Linux software development roles – including for enhancing their Linux graphics driver stack that also includes a focus on Linux gaming with the likes of Valve’s Proton (Steam Play).
Intel passed along six new engineering roles they have posted as recently as yesterday – three of which are for GPU software development engineers where the focus isn’t only on HPC/AI GPU compute but also Linux gaming.
Intel is such a weird company, “we’re still having issues with CPU’s and factories, let’s scale up GPU stuff!”
Tbh I hope it goes well for them, more competition can only be a good thing. AMD is basically unchallenged on Linux and NVIDIA is unchallenged on Windows.
