Hi guys
Recently I want to have my new computer installed EOS, and I am particularly worried about the hardware compatibility. My new computer attains nvidia graphic card as well as the latest AMD CPU.
to be specific:
AMD Ryzen™ AI 9 HX 370
NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4060
8GB GDDR6
I am not intended to use the nvidia graphic card, but I am particularly interested in how the is EOS’s support for that AMD cpu.
Endeavouros, as any other Linux distro, does not care about your CPU, as long as it is x86 compatible resp. the linux kernel supports the CPU.
weird cause I tried to open source download, and boot into black screen. So I guess there must be some hardware incompatible points. And I guess it was the issue of that AMD strix point?
Does EOS’s newest kernel support strix point? if not, when will EOS support.
There really is no “EOS kernel.” The most recent kernel is 6.10.6-arch1-1 and is provided by Arch. More about kernels provided by Arch can be found here.
But I guess EOS has its own release, which means there should be a time gap between the newest gap of EOS and Arch Linux
I am just wondering the compatibility of the kernel. I learned from manjaro forum, that manjaro kernel 6.9 or 6.10 should support strix point, want to know the situation of EOS, since I already have manjaro on my old computer, I want good compatible EOS dual booting on my new one.
Keep in mind, your nvidia GPU doesn’t actually get used unless you explicitly run a program with it.
That means the embedded GPU is being used.
For that, you need to check two things. What version of the linux firmware package has support and which version of the kernel has support.
Yes, thats what I want to get from the forum, I currently have not much idea on that. And I am not really sure how many months I should wait for good hardware compatibility from EOS. really want some estimation and evaluation
There is no EOS-Kernel. So there is no gap.
There is a gap.
He is issue is that he can’t get a graphical session when booting off the ISO to do the install.
The ISO itself is built at a point in time and so it currently has older libraries, firmware and kernel versions than what is currently in the repos.
If you search and find out what kernel version and firmware version has support for your hardware, we can possibly rebuild the ISO for you if it is currently available in the repos.
OK, thats really helpful! I ll give feedback in this post later.
seems that it will be in the linux kernel v6.12?
refer to this link:
AMD XDNA Ryzen AI Linux Kernel Driver Posted For Review - Phoronix
see that:
The AMD XDNA Linux driver patch series currently out for upstream kernel developer review can be found on the mailing list. Here’s to hoping that the code review process goes smoothly and quickly. The Linux 6.11 merge window is currently ongoing and while it’s possible for new drivers to be merged post-merge-window, typically it doesn’t happen too often. Thus at the earliest we would see the AMD XDNA driver integrated into the mainline Linux kernel would potentially be the v6.12 cycle if the review process is punctual. Linux 6.12 is likely to be this year’s LTS release but unfortunate for the timing as v6.11 will likely be the kernel powering Ubuntu 24.10 and other autumn Linux distributions. In any event the AMD XDNA driver is also available out-of-tree from AMD’s GitHub repository for those interested.
when will kernel v6.12 be added?
The 6.11 kernel isn’t released yet so 6.12 is quite far off. That being said, I am not sure that patch is actually what you need. That is support for the NPUs on those CPUs for doing AI work.
After doing a little searching, it looks like you need kernel 6.10, Mesa 24.2 and a more recent linux firmware package.
I think you just need a rebuilt ISO with what is currently available.
@joekamprad, do we already have a rebuilt ISO somewhere? If not, we may need to do a rebuild for supporting the GPU in the new Ryzen AI CPUs.
seems only one step from what you have on the official website. Maybe I can wait for the stable version on the official website? But how long shall I wait?
The next release is probably a ways off. However, we can build a new ISO based on the existing release. It will just have newer packages.
How and when can I recieve it? 
and any particular thing I should pay attention to to avoid some unstale factors?
You can try this one i just created. Hopefully i have it correct. Let me know if you get it and it works or not.

OK, a lot of thanks for you and appreciate it!
