Intel HD Graphics 520 any good on Linux

Asked by Neil

Hi boys and girls
Just a simple question
I'm looking for a new laptop the one I have found has Intel HD Graphics 520 on it.
How well do intel graphics go on Linux. It will be running 17.04

I have away used Nvidia on desktops, and recently used amd but don't like that to much..

Any thoughts on Intel HD Graphics 520 please..

This is the little beasty I'm looking at.

Neil

Intel 520 will run well in Zesty. I suggest you upgrade to 17.10 and then 18.04 to get LTS support in April next year
