Intel Moves Pre-Arc Graphics To "Legacy" Driver On Windows - Linux Users Need Not Worry

Intel announced this week that its moving its graphics driver support for integrated graphics on 11th Gen through 14th Gen processors over to their legacy driver model on Microsoft Windows

While this is a setback for those using Raptor Lake processors on Windows as well as the few Xe DG1 discrete graphics out there, Linux users don't have much to worry about. Intel already moving their 14th Gen "Raptor Lake" processors' integrated graphics over to their legacy software support model comes as a bit of a surprise. Intel developers may not invest as much time/resources into enhancing older generations of hardware support but the code remains open-source and upstream and welcome to community contributions.
