Linux Mint 17.3
Kernel: 4.4.0-57 / same issue on 4.8.x and 4.9.x
Laptop: Thinkpad T460 (i5 6300u, 16GB DDR3 RAM, Intel HD Graphics 520)
CSGO is buttery smooth and perfect if I boot with Windows 10 (Windows To Go on external HD). About 20fps less if I boot with the above config, and as you can see I get a strange issue with the colours. Got a urine coloured tint all over the screen.
Please, any suggestions are welcome as this is highly frustrating.

If you are doing an upgrade, check things in the end, as Mint upgrades tend to only upgrade Cinnamon and co, but not kernel and mesa. They have some weird ideas and eventually made me go back to Ubuntu (the Mate version).
And now CS seems to be working just fine, albeit with 30fps lower than Windows 10 :(
I tried using that Intel graphics installer (and faking the lsb_release to trick the installer in to thinking it was running in Ubuntu 16.04 and not Mint 18.1), and it did indeed update/install quite a few packages but nothing groundbreaking by the looks of it.
If you have any other suggestions to make CS run smoother (only getting about 50fps at the moment), I'll gladly give them a try.
But anyways, thanks! At least it looks pretty now :D
