With the Linux Kernel 5.6, the support for the USB4 standard will arive. The specifications of the USB4 standard is available since the autumn of the last year, but the developers of the Linux are already ready to support it. More information can be found on the mailing list of the kernel [here](http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/2001.3/05298.html).

Now that the upcoming USB4 spec promises to “adopt the Thunderbolt 3 protocol,” some hope it means an end to our international nightmare of USB confusion. USB 4 devices on the market faster than expected.
