I'm just wondering how older Intel hardware runs on Linux nowadays.
In many older, refurbished laptops, there's older Intel integrated graphics cards. For e.g., the GMA 900 and 950. I was wondering how the 900 fares in Linux. Is the graphics usable in more recent versions of Linux, for e.g., Ubuntu 10.04, OpenSUSE 13, Fedora 13, Debian Testing/Sid???
Or do you have to use an older Linux version (perhaps, to get older versions of the kernel and/or X.Org?
Also, how do apps run, in particular, 3D? Is it abysmal or just usable? I guess apps like Google Earth may not fare well?
Thanks for any info and answers.
