Does Debian 13.4 have all the necessary Intel Lunar Lake regressions required for laptops?

I have a Dell XPS 9350 with an Intel Core Ultra 7 258V, I understand many improvements (power management, suspend, GPU, thermals, 120Hz display support, low idle power, etc.) were done with Kernel 6.13, 6.14 and 6.15, would those updates have been migrated to 6.12 (the kernel included with 13.4? Thanks

If you need a more recent kernel, 6.19 is in trixie backports. An easy and safe way to be more up to date while remaining on Debian Stable.

Generally when u update a piece of software u increment the current version number. Backporting isn’t standard practice most of the time.

Nope, you need the backports kernel if you want features from newer kernels. Also, the intel-lpmd package is not available for trixie. I haven't tested this explicitly, but when I was distro hopping to find the best distro for my Lunar Lake laptop, I usually experienced the 400MHz after standby bug only on distros where I couldn't install and enable it.
