Expected output should show Intel Graphics (ADL-S GT1) or similar. The Intel UHD Graphics 730 on Ubuntu is a plug-and-play experience with excellent open-source support. While not built for gaming or 3D rendering, it provides a smooth, stable desktop environment for everyday tasks, media consumption, and light productivity work. For best results, use Ubuntu 24.04 LTS or newer and keep your kernel updated. Final tip: If you need better graphics performance, consider adding a dedicated AMD or NVIDIA GPU – but for an office or home PC running Ubuntu, the UHD 730 is perfectly adequate.
| Use Case | Performance on Ubuntu | |----------|------------------------| | GNOME / KDE desktop (Wayland) | Smooth at 1080p/4K | | 4K video playback (YouTube, VLC) | Hardware-accelerated (VA-API) | | Web browsing / office work | Excellent | | Casual gaming (e.g., Minecraft, older titles) | Playable at low settings | | Modern 3D gaming (CS:GO, Dota 2) | Low FPS (30–40 at 720p) | | Video editing / rendering | Slow (use CPU instead) |
