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.

Almost.
Current stable is 6.7, the RC is on 6.8.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Along with the recently merged Intel OpenGL and Vulkan driver support for Arrow Lake next-generation Core processors with Mesa 24.1, it looks like the i915 kernel graphics driver support for Arrow Lake will be all-set with the upcoming Linux 6.9 kernel cycle.
Sent out this week was the newest drm-intel-next pull beginning to queue more feature code that will go into the Linux 6.9 merge window.
Most notable there is adding new graphics PCI IDs to be found with the Intel Arrow Lake processors.
So with just needing the new PCI IDs and not gating them behind the "force_probe" option or any other extra steps over Meteor Lake, with Linux 6.9 + Mesa 24.1 it looks like the integrated graphics of Arrow Lake will be good to go.
Linux 6.9 stable should be out around the middle of the year while Arrow Lake processors are expected in H2'2024.
There's already been much Arrow Lake driver enablement work in other areas of the kernel -- not to mention Intel Linux engineers already being very busy with enabling its successor, Lunar Lake with its exciting Xe2 graphics.
