• Installed Zoom from Software Manager:
  So far all works ...
  -----------------------------

• Monitor problems:
  • The Beelink as received does not recognize my Vizio monitor.
    Searching forums suggests I need to install Intel Graphics Drivers:
    • from:
      https://www.linuxfordevices.com/tutorials/ubuntu/install-intel-graphic-d...
      • Check to see what drivers are currently being used:
        $ sudo lshw -c video
        -or -
        $ sudo lspci -nn | grep -e VGA
        -or -
        $ sudo lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display'
      • to install the latest drivers, add the graphics package repository by executing the following commands,
        it will install gpg-agent and get and will install the public key required to verify the integrity of the package.
      • $ sudo apt-get install -y gpg-agent wget
        wget -qO - https://repositories.intel.com/graphics/intel-graphics.key |
        sudo apt-key add -
        sudo apt-add-repository \sudo apt install mesa-utils
        'deb [arch=amd64] https://repositories.intel.com/graphics/ubuntu focal main'
      • Add the graphics software packages by executing the following command:
        $ sudo apt update
        $ sudo apt install \
            intel-opencl-icd \
            intel-level-zero-gpu level-zero \
            intel-media-va-driver-non-free libmfx1

      • Or install mesa3d:
        $ sudo apt install mesa-utils
        However: best guess at this point:
        installing mesa3D vs. installing mesa-utils may be alternatives that don't need to be done at the same time.
        One forum post said -utils is used by INTEL drivers (which is what I seem to need),
        and is independent of mesa3D.
        -------------------------

    • So, what I will do:
      • save everything...
      • update/upgrade
      • install mesa-utils from software manager
      • reboot and test ...
