Works fine nowadays, Skylake + 4k MST screen.

I was an early adopter and it was a bumpy start for sure, but you expect that. Just wait half a year or so after a new processor generation and it'll be fine. Zero issues on my Haswell laptop for the past years.

Intel has full-time people working on the Linux graphics stack. I've contributed bug reports and stack traces and they have been super friendly and responsive.

I wouldn't say it is working fine yet, for example: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116671 I'm not convinced mobile hardware is supported by them given this bug is still open and Skylake is approaching EOL.
