Why is Vivado 2026.1 dropping Linux support for free tier?
> We’ve heard the feedback from the FPGA and Linux developer community regarding upcoming Vivado licensing changes, particularly concerns around Linux support.
> Supporting developers across diverse workflows and environments remains important to AMD. To address this feedback, we will continue Linux support in Vivado Basic with the upcoming Vivado 2026.1 release.
Everyone is "happy" (For now.) But believe them the first time and look at the canned response they gave to you. They (AMD) are still not your friends.
Until next time.
Trust is hard to gain, but easy to lose.
Feedback like "WTF are you guys smoking?" and "Time to go elsewhere, Efinix look good, Gowan a close second" etc. etc.
This is not the sort of feedback one should be receiving let alone appreciating. Do your job right, and people wouldn't be giving you feedback like this.
