Just curious to know if anyone has been using the same distro for multiple years/decades and what or if you have it takes for you to want to switch to a different distro?

    I had my Intel card work pretty well in Blender 3D,except it couldn’t do BVH calculations in cycles, and I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to make it work, because the thing that is supposed to make it work breaks the render kernels for Blender.

    BVH building is always done on CPU (unless that changed)

      Well, apparently for Intel cards you can use “embree” to build BVH. But it requires a component of OneAPI.

        Intel render devices do use an Embree BVH, but I think that BVH is still built using the cpu? it’s possible that I am mistaken
