Linux 6.12/13 kernel?

Posted by metallisation@reddit | linux | View on Reddit | 12 comments

Hi guys,

I own a laptop with one of the latest intel ultra cpus and there are a bunch of compatibility issues. I’ve tried fedora, ubuntu and kubuntu but each one has a problem. For example, fedora doesn’t recognise the display adapter, no WiFi, no Bluetooth. Cannot change brightness of display.

Kubuntu recognises the display adapter, but graphics is broken. Lots of artifacting and stuttering. There is WiFi but no Bluetooth or audio. Not usable due to graphics issues.

Ubuntu for some reason only had the display adapter working but still had the stuttering issues. No sound, Bluetooth

Linux 6.12 is coming out shortly, is that compatible with the latest intel ultra graphics? My graphics is called Intel Arc 140v

Thanks

You can try the 6.12 kernel on any distro.

How dare you call void alpine gentoo and nix niche >:

I mean.... they are. They're really cool, don't get me wrong, but they are still niche. Nix and gentoo are a bit less niche, but still niche.

Install the mainline app and get the 6.11 kernel

Fedora Rawhide has the 6.12 kernel, whereas Fedora 41 currently have 6.11.
Rawhide is not recomended for daily usage though.
Fedora 41, OpenSuse Tumbleweed, and Arch is probably the most likely (non beta/testing) candidates for getting the 6.12 kernel first.

That being said, nothing is stopping you from either install whatever distro you like, and then compile your own kernel from the latest source, or include a 6.12 kernel package as an "update" during installing.
