Intel Expands Linux Graphics Team to Boost Drivers and Gaming Support
by George Whittaker Intel is once again investing in Linux development. The company has recently posted several job openings aimed at strengthening its Linux graphics driver and GPU software teams, signaling continued interest in improving Intel hardware support on the open-source platform. For Linux users, especially gamers and developers, this could mean faster improvements to Intel’s graphics stack and stronger support for modern workloads. New Roles Focused on Linux Graphics Intel has listed multiple GPU Software Development Engineer positions, many of which specifically focus on Linux graphics technologies. These roles involve working on the full graphics stack, including firmware, kernel drivers, and user-space components used by applications and games.

New stable kernels to address build failures
Sasha Levin has announced the release of the 6.12.76, 6.6.129, and 6.1.166 stable kernels. These releases address a regression reported by Peter Schneider; Levin said that an upgrade is only necessary for those who have observed a build failure with the 6.12.75, 6.6.128, or 6.1.165 kernels.
[$] Reconsidering the multi-generational LRU
The multi-generational LRU (MGLRU) is an alternative memory-management algorithm that was merged for the 6.1 kernel in late 2022. It brought a promise of much-improved performance and simplified code. Since then, though, progress on MGLRU has stalled, and it still is not enabled on many systems. As the 2026 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management and BPF Summit (LSFMM+BPF) approaches, several memory-management developers have indicated a desire to talk about the future of MGLRU. While some developers are looking for ways to improve the subsystem, another has called for it to be removed entirely.
