Intel HD I3 550 Driver

I have installed Manjaro for first time in my old computer. I have a intel hd i3 550 onboard gpu that runs on windows completely fine, I have dual boot. I tried to install same driver with Wine and it says that my computer doesn’t complete requirements, which it does. How can I fix this problem???

Hi and welcome!

In short:

You can’t install windows drivers in wine. Linux has the drivers builtin for intel.

Wine contains libraries to translate the windows api to linux ones.

Here is a quick guide when you come from windows:

May i ask which problem you have with your manjaro installation?

How do I check if my onboard gpu driver is already installed or not?

You can check it easy in the terminal:

lspci | grep VGA

or for more detailed information:

inxi -Gxxxa

Manjaro has also a GUI:

manjaro-settings-manager

or use this:

mhwd -l to list installable driver
mhwd -li to list installed driver

video-linux stands for every opensource driver (intel, amdgpu,nouveau). So intel is fully open source, no need to install anything there. It is built into the kernel.

Nvidia has proprietary drivers, which need to be installed additionally.

Sorry for my ignorance sir but does this mean that it is installed?

Yes this means the hardware is there, module (driver in linux) is loaded and you use it already.
