A third player is absolutely welcome to the game but their share is for now still small on Windows.
The Arc Alchemist dGPU bringup has shown the world just how difficult graphics driver software is. They’ve made excellent progress lately in key areas (on both Windows and Linux) but there are are still many odd gaps to fill.
Battlemage mobile looks pretty exciting, mind you.
Like AMD, they use a kernel module and their user space drivers are in Mesa. If anything, you may have a better OOTB experience with Intel graphics on distros that have more recent packages, like Fedora.
Do keep in mind though that some extra packages are needed to use oneapi for things like blender or Stable Diffusion. Other than that arc works great for gaming and recording using OBS out of the box for me on Fedora.
I hope Intel keeps invested in this because we really need more competition. If they can push for the upper midrange too then that’d be a huge improvement already.

definitely agreed as more competition drives better products for lower prices to consumers✨
just wondering but do you happen to know if Intel’s gpus are good for all Linux distros?

ah you’re right!
😳I asked a stupid question as I should’ve checked the Tech Compendium (ArchLinux Wiki) before asking😅
thanks! +1
