My old PC is a little bit slow now so I’m considering buying a new one. The only problem is that the one I want to choose uses an Intel Arc graphics card.
So I have a question… Is Intel Arc GPU supported?

afaik, the arc gpu drivers are included as kernel modules. You might need to use a recent kernel but it should “just work”.
I’ve got the same question.
I think I’ll have to wait a bit because I’m using zfs.
My current laptop is getting old(T540P), the new P16 with ecc and zfs and intel arc a30m comes closest to my ideal laptop. (sway => !nvidia)
But I don’t understand the trend to make workstations fancier by removing “features”
You will need 2 things:
The kernel is getting support in 6.0.
Mesa’s support has been merged to (their) master, but is not in a released version yet.
To expand on this:
It’s fairly easy to use drivers from a newer mesa version instead of the one Nixpkgs provides OOTB and, unless you have constraints like ZFS, a kernel upgrade is trivial.
is it supposed to be https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git/log/drivers/gpu/drm/i915? what about mesa
