With the recent Intel layoffs many Linux drivers are no longer maintained and as a consequence some older laptops don't boot anymore.

Did upstream disable hardware.. I didnt see the memo for disabling anything boot related.

Can you tell me what you found breaking as I will have to deal with that.

Quick research showed that some were marked as 'unmaintained', but I don't see anything that would prevent systems from booting, or even the code from working.

Some (not all) of the systems were picked up by other people. I do not know where you're getting the information from, but if you want to, please share.

It was somewhere on HN in the past few weeks, a few folks mentioned they can't boot some systems anymore.
