Anyone have experience with Intel Arc GPUs?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Does anyone know if the drivers are open source?
I've heard conflicting claims online and I saw that Phoronix states that they are but their article doesn't provide any sources backing up that claim

Yeah. Only thing missing is the GUC/HUC firmware source and loading that should be optional still.
thank you for the links/references btw! +1
