Intel Arc requires kernel 6.2 and newer. Debian 12 is on 6.1 if you don't install a back-ported kernel. Debian has a "backports" repo to make installing a back ported kernel easier. But you will also need to manually acquire and install newer firmware than what is provided by Debian to make Arc GPUs function.
If you haven't sunken too much time into this setup and you aren't tied to Debian, I'd recommend switching to Ubuntu 24.04. It has a new enough kernel out of the box and has new enough firmware to run an Arc GPU without any additional setup.
