I am running eOS 5.1.3 Hera and have an Intel UHD Graphics 620 (rev 07) card in my machine. I am looking to make sure that I am updated to the latest drivers before messing with any Wine applications. I was searching for the best way to go about installing these drivers but only found very old articles and pages, which I imagine are outdated by now.

This was the latest link that I attempted to follow: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2019/01/install-mesa-18-2-8-ppa-ubuntu-18-04-18-10/

However, the first command listed for the terminal does not execute: add-apt-repository as it is not recognized, and looking at intel's website I don't think Mesa is the newest driver anyhow.

Anyone more knowledgeable than I know how to properly see if I am updated / how to update these drivers in 2020?

First thing first. Backup your important files before venturing further.

To add a PPA to eOS you need to install:

sudo apt install software-properties-common

Next thing is to add a PPA which contains driver for intel:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
sudo apt update

Now getting the latest intel driver:

sudo apt install xserver-xorg-video-intel

  • Just reading through the PPA, it is recommended to update the kernel as well. NOTE: Make sure you have backed up your important files. Command: sudo apt install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-18.04

  • Hmm, yeah, still complaining about broken packages even after attempting the dpkg. Went through and updated everything from App Store as well as running the generic hwe install.
