I heard that Mesa 22 removed support for old Intel graphics, but I am lucky enough to sport a Gen3 IGP on this machine. This means that I can continue to use fresh linux distros on it with worrying about whether Mesa-amber is among the packages.

For some time, though, I was under the (wrong) impression that the machine needs Mesa-amber, and I tried putting NetBSD onto it — this will eventually happen, but I still have some time. This NetBSD project failed spectacularly. I have no idea why, but it doesnt like my newly-acquired PS/2 keyboard and X11 is buggy as well. Files also disappear from time to time, but that might be because the (used) SSD in the machine might be unstable by now.

The machine has REALLY weird characteristics. Its Gen3 graphics might be able to run OpenCL code with intel's old Beignet implementation. Also, the CPU completely lacks power scaling, so cpupower is useless on it. No one can set the frequencies on it, excep maybe if the BIOS was able to do so — never dream of intel mobos doing anything good.
