How performant are the Intel Arc GPUs in linux? - eviltoast

I saw the other day about the new video of Hardware Unboxed where they benchmarked the Intel GPUs with newer drivers on Windows. I’m also interested in buying one but I’d like to know how good they are on Linux. Since the GPUs will be using Vulkan renderer on Linux, I was hoping they would be better overall, or rather have a decent performance. What is your general experience with them? Also, do they work well with Wayland? Thanks for any and all inputs.

    Like other people have said, day to day it works with no issues, I’m also running Wayland; but it did struggle with picking up both my monitors’ VRR, and I ended up changing random things in the monitor EDID to get it working.
