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.

I’m considering building a new machine soon and was looking at the Intel Arc GPUs as a possibility. Anyone have experience using them in their system? I’m on Arch btw

Glad I'm not the only one with this question. Feels like it's difficult to find up-to-date information on the performance of these Arc cards on Linux; I'd like to support Intel's move into this space but it's hard without knowing how drastically it's going to affect my gaming performance. 😅

I'm glad to hear the situation seems to be rapidly improving. I may pick up an A770 yet.
