No problem either suspending or hibernating, no "not-yet-serviced" or "no-longer-serviced" problems, no binary blobs, no crashes, no black screen of graphics death (Nvidia on Thinkpad T61), no gradual deterioration until death (AMD on mainboard I think), no loss of support (AMD on external card I think), no crashes for accelerated desktop. Probably no useful gaming performance either, but then I wouldn't know. I don't know whether Intel still deals in onboard graphics and particularly not in relation to desktop computers. But at least with laptops and over about a decade of experience, they have by far been the least problematic with Linux for me. If you don't need the kind of rendering performance graphics cards specialize in, don't pay the price in stability and non-support the market leaders exact. -- David Kastrup
