By accident rather than design I ended up using mostly Radeon cards over the years. I also had a laptop with Intel graphics. Both intel and radeon have been working without problems with kernel drivers, but I am not a gamer to stress them to their limit. > I did have to give up the option of having multiple X11 screens.
