Correct. The most recent version of libdispatch has been open sourced in GitHub - apple/swift-corelibs-libdispatch: The libdispatch Project, (a.k.a. Grand Central Dispatch), for concurrency on multicore hardware and folks are actively working to improve it on Linux.

According to Swift.org (https://swift.org/blog/swift-linux-port/\), I think GCD (aka libdispatch) is the plan for Linux as well:
"Here are some things that aren’t quite working yet or are planned for the future:
libdispatch: Part of the Core Libraries, updated Linux support is in progress. You can follow development on the libdispatch project on GitHub (https://github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-libdispatch\).”

What’s the target timeline looking like for a complete GCD implementation? The GitHub page explicitly states that we’re aiming for Foundation to have a complete implementation by Swift 3, but there’s no milestone information for GCD.
(I’m hacking away at NSTask right now, and I keep getting reminded of how much I wish I could use GCD on Linux.)
(Or kqueues. Dammit, Linux.)

I’d suggest asking the fine folks on swift-corelibs-dev directly:
