   Thanks, Paul   
      
   My personal experience is not the best.   
   - Acer Laptop with Intel graphics.  I've had it since 2013 and it was over a   
   year after that before I could even boot linux onto it.  The opensuse version   
   at the time could not handle the hardware.  No problems nowadays.   
   - AMD Desktop with nVidia GeForce 8200 onboard graphics.  Only works with   
   nouveau and not particularly well at that.  It may have worked better before   
   Leap came along, I think the proprietary driver could handle this old card   
   back then.   
   - AMD Desktop with AMD onboard Graphics (I think they are actually in the main   
   processor).  A few months old and worked perfectly with the standard driver   
   from day 1.   
      
   Obviously ymmv
