New NovaCustom computer with Intel Meteor Lake - integrated Arc graphics still works with jxself's Linux-Libre

We got a new NovaCustom "NUC" computer at work yesterday - a very small mini-computer about the size of a thick, short, paperback book. It has an Intel Meteor Lake cpu - Intel Core Ultra 7 155H - and Intel "Arc" integrated graphics.
Tried the Linux-libre 6.18.5 kernel from jxself's freesh repo and so far it appears to be using the Intel Arc integrated graphics instead of falling back to llvmpipe:
$ glxinfo | grep render
...
Extended renderer info (GLX_MESA_query_renderer):
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa Intel(R) Arc(tm) Graphics (MTL)
I wasn't sure if it would work with Arc, but, there you have it.
Ecne or Aramo? So Trisquel's kernel does not work with the GPU hence you tried Linux-libre from freesh?
Aramo - I haven't been able to get Ecne to boot on this machine from the live ISO yet. Not that I've tried anything other than putting the live USB in and powering it on. But it did fail to boot the couple of times I tried it.
With the Aramo Trisquel kernels, either using the Intel Xe or the Intel Arc integrated graphics, the graphics are rendered via llvmpipe instead of the iGPU, putting more load on the CPU. That's kind of ok with this CPU, as you've got a ton of horsepower for graphics or whatever, but it doesn't appear to be the ideal way to run a system long-term.
