I have a small underpowered desktop running in my house that only has onboard graphics and it runs Ubuntu 16.04 just fine, but its only connected to 1 monitor, not 3.

The Intel integrated graphic card of my laptop does handle 3 screens fine and I dont need to mess with drivers, everything works well out of the box. I would actually advise against NVIDIA cards unless you need powerful graphic processing or to do GPU computation.

  Cool. Didn't know laptops existed with 3 monitor ports. Which model laptop are you using, and would you recommend it for programming? :)

    Ahhh, doing some Googling shows it's from add-on peripherals and/or docking stations. eg: http://www.dell.com/support/article/uk/en/ukbsdt1/sln115952/how-to-configure-three--3--displays-on-a-dell-latitude-notebook-with-intel-hd-4x00-graphics?lang=en http://www.dell.com/support/article/uk/en/ukbsdt1/sln115952/...
