Intel Winning Over NVIDIA For Linux Enthusiasts

Well after owning an intel based i3 system for about a month now, I honestly can't understand how anyone can say the intel drivers are in great shape in linux. I've had more graphic corruption, misdraws, sync and video playback issues with the i3's graphics then I ever had with any nvidia card that I have owned.

This is pure nonsense.

Intel should test the market for a discrete high performance GPU that could hold its own quite well against AMD and nvidia
Originally posted by Darkseider View PostWell nVidia will eventually open up their drivers and gain wider acceptance or fade into obscurity in the linux landscape. Ultimately it is their choice.
In addition, more architectures can then be supported without too much fuss as the Nouveau driver can be built on multiple architectures including ARM and MIPS. This arrangement certainly won't overburden the nvidia engineers.
In the end nVidia can then earn back some respect and maybe get some GPU orders.Last edited by DeepDayze; 06 July 2012, 11:02 AM.

Radeon has better/faster hardware than Intel at the moment, both have open drivers and are well integrated into the system. The limitation on heavy 3D gaming are not so much the drivers but MESA and lack of recent OpenGL support. For desktop usage the open drivers are just great, I can plug whatever I want into the laptop (and soon also USB GPU?!?), it just works... suspend to RAM, hibernation, never a black screen etc.

Originally posted by nbecker View PostI've been trying to follow this because I'm looking for a new laptop (desktop replacement). Currently have 17" hp dv9000. I've used nvidia for years (blobs).
What should I look for in a laptop with Intel graphics that has:
good linux support
performance sufficient for desktop effects, perhaps the occasional game (I'm not a gamer).
I'm not a gamer, but want something future-proof for 4-5 years.
