Why are you baffled? It's no secret that Nvidia's linux drivers cause problems and that Intel's tend to be very good.
For the record, I had a really bad time with Nvidia hardware and their drivers on Linux, and the whole Optimus thing that they pushed 5-ish years ago.
Never had a problem with Intel graphics, except that power management (RC6) support in Sandy Bridge chips took a while to mature.
- ramy_d 10y agoI'm baffled because I had the exact opposite experience and this is really bad advice.
- rlpb 10y agoUbuntu developer here. I favor Intel drivers (for non-gaming) for the reasons given. It's certainly much more straightforward driver-wise. And I can recall a number of bugs that impacted Nvidia only, where one cause was that they have proprietary drivers. > and this is really bad advice I think that's a huge stretch. Disagree all you like from your own experience, but I believe that the statement "Intel drivers work more smoothly than the proprietary Nvidia drivers" matches the current consensus.
- ramy_d 10y agoI don't care. This is bad advice because it's armchair troubleshooting. Oh you have a problem? Stop doing this thing I don't like. Yay everyone, we did it.
