Rodoviario said earlier:
" Didn't work for me. Everyhing gets installed, but when you run the intel-linux-graphics-installed and click "Begin" it says Distribution not supported. Mine is Rebecca 17.1 Mate 3b Bits. But still I like the ideo of being able to update intel drivers. "
That happened to me, too. I think that it's like what that other guy said, you linked to the drivers for a newer ubuntu.

alongside the intel drivers software, i had to install a fonts package that took an hour to install. Why? They're just some fonts. Worst case scenario, the font to replace the ones I end up not having because I skipped the long fonts installation is ugly to behold, and I will sob the whole time because of the god-ugly fonts replacing those I did not install.

And there is another tutorial with an extra step related to lsb-base

But there are many warnings about breaking things to follow it. I have deleted the intel source and uninstalled the tool for now.

you link to ubuntu 14.10 version, but isn't mint 17.1 based on 14.04?

I know first hand why one would need the drivers. I am a bit of a gamer, but whenever i try to play a 3d game on Linux, it always causes the computer to completely and unexpectedly shut down. It's not overheating, it worked fine on 2d games and happened only once on a completely native game (Developed first for Linux, usually found in the software manager). But whenever I would try to play a ported game, like Garry's Mod (more like Garry's Dementia), or CS:S, it would crash like I described. It has to be the default drivers freaking out over some things.

A little description on why one would need to do this would be better.

Intel drivers work on Linux out of the box...
