    Intel graphics has issues of its own, especially on laptops. Whatever power saving features Intel managed to add to their Windows drivers need to be turned off on Linux or it’ll cause weird issues or even physical damage (in one particularly nasty bug where the Intel driver made the backlight strobe).

    In my experience, amdgpu has been fine, though I’ve only used it on an older laptop. This only ever caused problems for me on Ubuntu (with its old kernels), things became a lot more stable when I switched it over to Manjaro.

    If you can consistently get the display to corrupt, you should report the bug with your distro. There’s a good chance this is a regression of some kind that can be patched.
