> Edit: Actually there is software I have used from Intel that I have really enjoyed, the BIOS for the NUC. So I stand corrected.
I am hugely appreciative of Intel's substantial contributions to the Linux kernel, which is obviously software.
Being able to run Linux natively on modern Intel laptops with full 3D hardware acceleration, modesetting, and working suspend/resume using mainline drivers has been a game changer for decades. Without their stepping up and setting an example here, I doubt we'd have amdgpu today, desktop Linux use in general would be far less possible.
