Article note: A new legacy-free x86_64 bring-up path gets talked about from time to time, but I hadn't seen any public work from Intel/AMD. This is a fleshed-out proposal that I could easily see going into production in the near future. (The presser also contains an amusing amount of passive-voice retcon about how things came to be the way they are).

Article note: That's pretty cool. In addition to other things, these are the people doing most of the Wine/Proton work, and having them be in a state less prone to private equity whims is a good thing. It looks like a much weaker form of employee ownership than a CoOp or something, but still leagues better than what usually happens these days.
