    At an absolute minimum! When Arc first came out I considered getting one just for the AV1 encoder, but there’s very little else going for the whole line. An open-source driver at least makes the techier among us more likely to want to play with one.

      There was some mesa bug that was over 2 years old that was just merged in recently that fixed a huge Arc bottleneck. It’s embarrassing how bad the implementations are for both Windows and Linux.
