looks like Ubuntu 24.04 not good enough with Intel N150,maybe that is why GMKtec install 24.10 by default
- Get https://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/releases.ubuntu.com/24.04.2/ubuntu-24.04.2-live-server-amd64.iso
- Choose HWE kernel (during install)
- Compile and install https://github.com/intel/gmmlib.git
- Compile and install https://github.com/intel/libva
- Compile and install https://github.com/intel/libva-utils
- Compile and install https://github.com/intel/media-driver.git
- Compile and install https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/igt-gpu-tools/ (or package intel-gpu-tools can try to use from distribution )
With HWE we got Kernel 6.11.0-21

tools to compile Intel video driver
apt install -y cmake pkg-config meson libdrm-dev automake libtool gcc git
That you get if try to use tools and drivers from Ubuntun 24.04.2
