I don't know about LLMs, but I tried an Intel card when Ubuntu Wayland couldn't initialize a 2 year old Nvidia. It just works.

That is just Linux and politics. Linux wants to force vendors to open source theirs, Intel plays along, Nvidia as the market lead does not, so you have to use their proprietary one, which most distros do not ship by default.

Interesting. I had read that Intel's Linux drivers were far behind their Windows versions. I haven't checked in a few months though.

		That is compatible with what the comment you are replying: you don't need much to beat nVidia open drivers for linux. Intel linux drivers might be behind their Windows drivers, still ahead of nVidia's. nVidia has zero incentives to play open for linux, they release the binary blobs, next to zero docs and support, and you deal with it. The last nVidia card I bought was 20 years ago, and it was so bad for linux (low perf and freezes for the open drivers, manual re-install hell and pray on each kernel update for the binaries) that I switched to ATI. Since then, ATI or Intel always were decent with zero headaches.
