Why would I choose an Intel GPU over Nvidia or AMD? I'm not being snarky, I'm genuinely curious. I don't really know anything about them. Additionally, do they play nice with Linux?

I bought an Intel GPU for my media server: I got a killer deal for an AMD CPU that didn't have integrated graphics. I just needed a little something for transcodes, and I wanted:

  • AV1 support
  • kernel modules that ship by default with most distros
  • low power consumption
  • small size

Turns out that the Intel ARC A380 was a relatively affordable GPU that filled all those needs. Using Ubuntu server, it worked out of the box.

Currently? Nothing at all. But Nvidia doesn't really make a midrange GPU, and AMD's midrange offerings just kinda suck, and their low end stuff is even worse. Intel is currently filling that low-midrange niche. Or at least trying to.

Plus if battlemage is actually decent then AMD and maybe Nvidia will have to respond and make something that doesn't suck ass.
