Intel reaffirms its commitment to Arc graphics, but the focus is shifting from discrete GPUs to integrated GPUs. Desktop Battlemage is still on the way.
I believe many of major the drivers issues were sorted out after releases. Although I doubt support is anywhere close to being as good as AMD, let alone Nvidia.
I tried to run Windows with ARC earlier this year and the driver updater would shit istelf and refuse to update the drivers, requiring a full reinstall. Some of the software I wanted to use just straight up did not work (Steam link, ALVR, Minecraft with the Vivecraft mod) and Half Life: ALyx had some annoying graphical issues. It was pretty performant though so ARC is still a good option when every penny counts.
