I've been using these builds for a couple of years now with almost no issues (thanks to the excellent work of those here). Now however I'm finally upgrading my old Celeron 1037U (Gigabyte Brix) for a self made custom box with a Sky Lake i3 (HD Graphics 530). Is there anything I need to do or consider before starting off with the installation of Ubuntu Server 15.10 as per the instructions on the first page? Does the included kernel support the Skylake? Any hints/tips?
Thanks
SKL is fully work in progress by intel. Linux performance is quite bad actually (see latest phoronix comparison). Make sure to upgrade the kernel to linux 4.3.0 and also make sure to use latest linux-firmware. For the rest: good luck.
Do you mean this?
I don't mind installing the new kernel. Any other drivers I need to look at installing? Has anyone had any success with a Sky Lake on here thus far?
Failing that, I can move all my server stuff over to the new box and wait for the drivers to stabilise and support Sky Lake properly for Kodi.Is there any ETA from Intel on having better support?
