For open source since you'd be using the open-source anyway, 2D on
nvidia with neouveau is pretty good, and intel would be good as well.
Note: I *strongly* prefer something with an ATI
video chipset. My
experience has been that going with anything else on Linux is begging
for some kind of pain.
Hmmm, my son-in-law is going through all kinds of pain trying to get his
ATI video card to work with Linux. In fact, he's replacing it with an
NVidia card ...
For laptops, the Intel video chipset seems to be working with recent
distros. I have neither recent Intel hardware nor a recent distro, so
can't help there.
