The Linux configurations tested were very close to Windows 10 Creators Update for the demanding Unigine Heaven demo.

Even if it's just an IGP, it isn't from 2010. You should test it with Superposition.

It was crashing with Superposition, at least under Windows.

I was going to post some trolling on Intel IGPs not being able to hold simple stuff like OpenArena but I think I'll pass.

Probably will be good enough for 2D emulators @ 4K

Yes, def. more than good enough to run a desktop environment (at 1920x1080 in my case). On a laptop with both integrated and dedicated GPU, running in this mode, the battery will last maybe 3 times as long.

love intel's gpu as it works hassle free in general with only one graphics driver...

But anything is good to do 1080p desktop enviroment, even 15 years old chips

Of course, nothing is good enough to run modern DE, especially bloated one

Well, that's kind of a benchmark result too.

Who needs games when we can play with bloated DEs?
