+# System "requirements"
+
+As always with Linux, setup will vary from distro to distro. But there's some basics that should be in place regardless of distro:
+
+  - Linux kernel 5.11+ (Saw good improvements to Intel Xe graphics support)
+  - Mesa version as recent as possible
+  - If gaming on Steam, set "Proton Experimental" as compatibility tool (Many games fail to launch with any numbered release)
+
+And last but not least:
+
+ - Patience
+
+Intel Xe graphics are very recent, and so are the drivers. Regardless of platform. You **WILL** encounter graphical bugs and compatibility issues with games, until Intel irons out their drivers more.
+
+Surprisingly that's mostly it. Keyboard, gamepad, ports, WiFi, Bluetooth and most other things just work as long as your kernel is recent enough.
