Is this any good for Mint?

I agree 100% ... note the phrase "This tool aims to make the latest Intel Graphics Stack available before it gets officially released by Linux". In other words a bug fest. The people who would be know enough top deal with the problems generally won;t touch that stuff and the beginners who can't solve those problems are going to be the ones to jump on it.

And BTW that blog from that link, like many Linux blogs, is rubbish. I've gotten 90% or more useful Mint support info from ubuntuforums and askubuntu, which is exactly where those guys get all their stuff too. And then half the time they get it wrong or don't bother telling you how to revert changes.
