    Intel has a line of dedicated GPUs coming out in 2020, and they're sending the message that driver support for Linux will be a high priority.  Intel seems to want to build trust within the Linux community early on which cold give them an edge in the ever-increasing GPU wars that will be coming soon.  With Intel in the GPU market, it will be interesting to see how Nvidia and AMD respond.  Perhaps due to the increasing competition, solid Linux support will become the new standard.
