Integrated Intel GPU and no graphical system, just KMS VT (text console). That's what made it so frustrating - only displaying a console should not result in kernel panics under CPU load! Admittedly, the experience was anecdotal and years ago and I heard Debian is doing less of a RHEL-style "frankenkernel" now.
- bayindirh 1y agoIntel's integrated GPU driver team, actually all driver teams, had a period of frequent screw-ups a while back (five years ago? Time flies). They also borked e1000e driver in the same period. On the other hand, I had and still have many Debian installations, some with Intel integrated graphics. None of them created any problems for a very, very long time. To be honest, I don't remember even any of my Intel iGPU systems crashed. ...and I use Debian for almost two decades, and I have seen tons of GPU problems. I used to write my Xorg.conf files without using man, heh. :) Maybe you can give Debian another chance.
- ACS_Solver 1y agodrm/i915 was a pretty miserable experience for me on one machine. The Intel drivers for that chipset around the 5.3 kernel era weren't good, I recall lots of bug reports at the time. Below is one of the several issues that I was affected by https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/i915/kernel/-/issues/673 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/i915/kernel/-/issues/673
