From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

IMO, intel has underrated linux drivers. You get solid 3d, codecs, compute, etc. ootb. Assuming your distro supports it. You may be looking into something higher end, though.
Intel iGPUs have good drivers. Arc drivers are still developing.
I daily drive arc on linux. They're not as bad as people say. Not fully there, but opencl support requires one package that is in most distros repos, same for video. Not saying they're perfect, or even better than amd, but they are a lot better than people seem to think.
I'm waiting for battlemage to give them a try. I really want them to succeed.
I hope they flop and Intel goes under.
