From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's been working fine since a couple years ago on Intel. It works on my Intel machines with both old and recent cpus

The article mentions AMD GPU so I am assuming they are talking about Intel arc GPU
VAAPI works on the integrated GPUs as well. There's a table of supported codecs here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hardware_video_acceleration#Comparison_tables
Unfortunately they never bothered to get things integrated into Mesa and they have 2 different packages.
