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.

    They have open source drivers so they are not bad but it’s Intel arc so you’re probably better of with Radeon if you game. I do use an a380 in my jellyfin computer and apart from having to backport the kernel (Debian user problems) it works great. I did play Scrap Mechanic on it on Wayland and I didn’t notice any issues but I heard they are really inconsistent in different games.
