Its a kernel exploit, so probably. But I just checked my arch installs,and I don’t have any of the kernel modules loaded. Loading requires root anyway, so I think this may be fairly limited in reality?
I also just verified it worked on my Arch install. But running the mitigation command and rebooting effectively blocked it, and I’m on the Arch LTS kernel. I think the disabled modules are related to IPSec, which most desktop users don’t really need.
Well shit. I wonder if all Linux systems are affected, the testing in the repo doesn’t cover Arch for instance. For now I’d assume the answer is yes.

They’ll get loaded, even without root
don’t see 'em loaded here, either. trixie (dietpi) server, aurora (f44) desktop

Did you have the modules loaded before running the exploit?
I did. No idea how or why, though.
