Their existence, at this point, is pretty much theoretical. :)

Years of data - Smolt, Smolt-type tools, Phoronix surveys, general
(non-Linux) industry surveys - agree very strongly that somewhere
between 95% and 99% of x86 systems (I'd pin it at the high end of that
range, myself) are using Intel, AMD, or NVIDIA graphics. Those really
are all it's honestly worth caring about on x86.
