With the recently released KDE Plasma 6.1 desktop environment, those still relying on old Intel integrated graphics should have a much more pleasant experience thanks to improvements made to the KWin compositor. The biggest improvement to bettering the KDE Plasma desktop graphics performance is thanks to dynamic triple buffering support.
