(Note: Intel graphics driver stability on Linux is pretty good.)
- sjcoles 5y agoThis is exactly why I am excited about the Arc GPUs. I have had rock solid stability with Intel iGPUs on Linux (yes, even compared to AMD which my desktop has). I don't need something super powerful but driving a 4k display or two without the laptop getting so toasty would be nice.
- PaulHoule 5y agoMy complaint is with the discrete + integrated combo on Windows. The worst offender here are the Firefox and Chrome web browsers. It seems like these get assigned the dGPU or iGPU randomly to different windows. If you get the wrong one you have problems with rendering, such as the title bar goes bad. For years I would submit a ticket for this, it would seem to be fixed, then the bug would come back shortly thereafter. I had one desktop replacement laptop that blessedly would let me disable the iGPU and then it would be reliable. My current Alienware doesn't.
- ahartmetz 5y agoOh, discrete + integrated seems bad everywhere then (it's known bad on Linux) and should be avoided.
- ekianjo 5y agoyou haven't seen Intel vulkan drivers on Linux, I guess.
