The problems I always had with the Intel drivers in the past is that you often needed to be running a bleeding edge kernel to get support for them. This is less of a problem on Ubuntu now with the hw enablement kernels.
I honestly stopped using AMD for graphics a decade ago when I had a card that was too old for the proprietary flglrx driver, but not old enough for the (at the time) feeble, community supported open source drivers. Maybe I should take another look at them.
Amusingly, I'm typing this from an AMD Threadripper2 running with Nvidia graphics.
- lasagnaphil 8y ago2 years ago I’ve started using Arch Linux for my laptop because of slow nvidia graphics driver updates from Ubuntu... Don’t know how things are nowadays Arch, being a rolling-release distribution, can always get you the latest driver updates with the package manager (but with the cost of being a little bit more work to maintain)
- sevensor 8y agoI also use Arch, so I can't speak to the Ubuntu situation. I'd certainly hate to have to stay abreast of drivers on any other distribution. For all that Ubuntu promises that it Just Works, it seems like way too much trouble compared to Arch.
