In general marketing terms like "UHD" aren't important. If you have a
graphics adapter that isn't properly supported, you know one thing:
that graphics adapter isn't supported. :D Between you and that other
reporter...you know that the two models you have don't work.
I'd recommend you file a bug, not against mutter, but against probably
the kernel (and then CC ajax(a)redhat.com) or xorg-x11-drv-intel (which
isn't technically correct but should find the right people). Include
mesa would be the technically correct component for wayland driver issues.
