Like AMD, they use a kernel module and their user space drivers are in Mesa. If anything, you may have a better OOTB experience with Intel graphics on distros that have more recent packages, like Fedora.

There's no stupid questions here - there's absolutely nothing intuitive about computer ecosystems 😅

Do keep in mind though that some extra packages are needed to use oneapi for things like blender or Stable Diffusion. Other than that arc works great for gaming and recording using OBS out of the box for me on Fedora.

Good to know, though same could be said for ROCm + HIP for AMD. Gets a bit weird as you generally want that for OCL support too.
