    no it doesn't - it's just the current state of affair with a non-functional software stack (i915 backport DKMS) that Intel support says "we only support wayland" - use 6x Kernel and xorg works perfectly, I also think it's not up to a mishap i915 kernel backport driver crew to tell me, that only wayland will work in the future, that's silly - just because of a lack of testing their software - sorry for my rambling

    Finally Intel is completing their software stack after(!) launch date, so far I complained about AMD having their software not ready on release date, but now Intel showed me that they can do the same or worse....after buying the DG2 hardware... hmmm, nice move
    atm. you get new Intel beta drivers every few days/weeks, mostly some 5-10% performance boost for some windows games nobody really plays and some bigger blob for Intel ARC Control software, as if 1GB of driver download/Autostart software with admin rights is not enough - good job
    but the really good intel (multi-platform) software on github like media-driver, vaapi, onevpl and onevpl-gpu stuff has to run up a score for letting those silly windows-gaming-optimizations getting through in the first place. nice move, Intel management.

    I just start regretting buying Intel hardware for Linux, Windows is running really fine btw.

    just tell me is this intel arc gpu really what you hoped for ?

    i hope for an honest answer.

    It finally is \ o / , both encoding and decoding, tested with VLC, Firefox and Chromium on XFCE/X11.

    However, for me, in Chromium (and derivatives), Vulkan needs to be disabled, as well as UseChromeOSDirectVideoDecoder; otherwise the video will become a garbled mess. This appears to be a known issue already.

    Let's hope these issues will be sorted soon

    X/Xorg with i915 modesetting driver only gives me displays going into power saving mode after starting X/Xorg.

    Most seem to be having good results with Wayland/Sway.

    New benchmarks would be really cool once this hits.
