This is essential for optimal GPU performance and to avoid potential issues such as `Bus error (core dumped)`. For detailed steps, please refer to the official guidance [here](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000090831/graphics.html). + We recommend using Ubuntu 24.10 and kernel version 6.11 or above, as support for Battle Mage has been backported from kernel version 6.12 to version 6.11, which is included in Ubuntu 24.10, according to the official documentation [here](https://dgpu-docs.intel.com/driver/client/overview.html#installing-client-gpus-on-ubuntu-desktop-24-10). However, since this version of Ubuntu does not include the latest compute and media-related packages, we offer the intel-graphics Personal Package Archive (PPA). The PPA provides early access to newer packages, along with additional tools and features such as EU debugging. Use the following commands to install the intel-graphics PPA and the necessary compute and media packages:
