I was offered an Intel Arc graphics card, but I couldn't find any information about how they work with Linux that was less than 7 months old. Any of you know how well Arc GPUs are currently working on Linux?

You want to use the latest kernel and mesa versions (preferably git or release candidate versions). The new Xe kernel module allegedly doesn't support hardware accelerated video decoding so you'll need to stick with i915. If Intel's new GPUs dont have the hardware acceleration issue it would be a no-brainer to buy once the performance issues are ironed out.
