#GNOME 50 will be released today, so here is a look at the major things you can expect in this #Linux desktop, and there are many!

It brings things that people have been asking for, and it builds foundations that will bring even more great stuff in the next versions:

I must say... I'm incredibly proud of the Xe kernel driver team at Intel for what they've been able to deliver in the last few years. Incredibly proud.

My final act at Intel was to drop the initial Xe.ko prototype and tell management to put together a team to finish it.

Even though I can claim to have started Xe, what I left them with when I walked away was a pretty bare prototype. About the only really useful things were the UAPI and some of the core design philosophy (which I think they've largely kept). But the actual code? Hopefully they've replaced most of it. 😅 What I left them was pretty much "We can do kernel drivers better. Here's roughly how. Have fun!"

And Matt Brost and rest of the team have pulled it off! They took my half-baked pile of... whatever it was and turned it into a solid and modern kernel driver. Intel is back to being a leader in the DRM subsystem. I'm really proud of them and I hope they're proud of their work. 💜

I may regret this at some point, but I felt the need to put down in writing how I feel about this moment in the tech industry.

It is not kind. You may well be insulted by it. If you are... then you really should question yourself.
