Kind of an aside but does anyone know how the Intel Arc cards are on Linux?
I'd imagine that a lot of the driver problems aren't really as significant since you can use things like mesa and dxvk, but I don't really know.
There was actually thread on [email protected] about this earlier today: https://lemmy.ml/post/7440982
It used to be completely busted, but I've heard that support is getting better. Recent kernels and mesa have been updated to support them, but the Intel drivers are way behind what Windows gets.
Non-gaming use could be fine, I'm planning on trying one myself soon.
How different would it even be? The Intel driver has DXVK baked in, that's how they've been running DirectX games in the first place
Check phoronix, they tested a couple of times the Intel Arc GPUs which are mostly fine with open source drivers.
