The problem in this case is that they automatically trigger XeSS, which isn’t bad unto itself (unless it can’t be deactivated, which this sounds like).
The GPU does support XeSS but it crashes on Linux. If they just added a toggle/cmd flag to disable the feature changing the vendorId wouldn’t be necessary.
I am playing Baldur’s Gate 3 (can’t say enough great things about this game) and they had a toggle in the game setting for upscaling options. And DLSS runs great with my Linux PC. I thought I heard Larian say they are trying to get XeSS too.
You can enable either Nvidia’s DLSS or AMD’s FSR via the settings menu.
I imagine Larian care. Especially since they’re pushing Steamdeck support.
The reason this is a “supported platform” issue is that the developers of Hogwarts legacy know their supported platforms support XeSS, so any work that is not “just turn it on” is additional work for no gain.

Could the game developers simply add this toggle for XeSS?

Could Intel fix the issue with XeSS on Linux?
Is the problem with Intel, Linux, or the game itself?
The game runs when XeSS is disabled. The game runs on Linux otherwise. The only factor causing it to fail is XeSS.
If XeSS causes the issue on any games that activate it, then it is most likely an Intel issue.
