I have puppy linux running and I'm typing this on puppy linux in fact! Does anyone know of support for this driver because the top of my screen sometimes goes haywire and I think that is the graphics. Anyone using UHD 600 on linux? Thanks for any help.

Which Puppy version?

Most current distros provide two DDXes that support most Intel UHD GPUs, modesetting, and intel. If one isn't behaving, try the other. This can be done by specifying 'Driver "intel"' or 'Driver "modesetting"' in /etc/X11/xorg.con* (these files if are optional, so likely won't exist until you create one), or by adding or removing the (upstream optional) intel driver package (upstream name: xf86-video-intel; Debian name: xserver-xorg-video-intel). The modesetting DDX is the upstream default, automatically utilized with GPUs it supports, if the (older technology and optional) intel driver package is not installed.

UHD 600 tells us it's Gemini Lake (2017).
