#### Intel, being Intel
#### Intel being Intel, killing 2 years old hardware
Intel [recently announced](https://community.intel.com/t5/Graphics/Graphics-Driver-Support-Update-for-10th-Generation-and-Older/m-p/1403969/thread-id/108899) that their Windows driver for Gen. 9, Gen. 9.5, and Gen. 11 GPUs (that is any CPU based on the 14nm Skylake architecture and all its many marketing renames, plus Ice Lake) is now in “legacy software support”, which basically means they are officially dead.

While this doesn’t affect yuzu immediately, any new Vulkan features we add in the future could potentially break functionality in a similar way to what happened with old AMD GCN hardware last year.
This leaves integrated Intel GPU users with a single alternative, Linux, which offers support for even older hardware.
For example, an ancient HD 4000 can *run* yuzu with the Mesa drivers.

Users should consider learning Linux if a hardware upgrade is not a viable option in the near future, Mesa has always offered better performance for Intel GPUs.
