Yeeehi, Trisquel goes by what complies with the free software definition. So you can rule out ATI/AMD straight off as their 3D support is proprietary. Intel integrated graphics are the best supported in terms of free software drivers (AIUI Intel write them at least in part). So if you are buying then go for that first. If you're stuck with on board graphics that aren't up to what you need then 3D support that is adequate to some games is available in nouveau (the free software nVidia driver) and good enough for some 3D games as of Trisquel 5.5. See this thread for a discussion and the place to purchase a best value desktop card that is guaranteed to work. http://trisquel.info/en/forum/graphics-cards-3d-acceleration-and-gaming Free software games are a different animal to mass market games. You have to think of them as a different way of getting your gaming fun. In similar way to retro games being a different kind of fun to modern mass market games. They're still fun after all. Of course motivated by freedom we are not interested in buying the non-free mass market stuff which is the majority, if not all, of what you'll find in your local game store. Leny
