I'm talking with a company that might want to hire me (not definite yet). I like them a lot and I think I'd like to work there. Here's the catch: if they decide to hire me, they will want a firm commitment from me, but they won't want me to start until next year at the earliest.
How do I navigate this situation given that I am currently employed? What's the right order to talk further with the new company, talk to my current employer, accept an offer, etc.?

If the new company doesn't want you to start until next year (a month and a half from now), what is the problem, exactly? How long does your current company require for a notice period?

I fail to see a problem here.
Interview as you would for any other job. If you are offered and accept, then give notice.
You might want to think about how much notice. You are under no obligation to give more than your standard notice period. However, if you wish to help your current company and possibly keep doors open for the future, or not burn any bridge with references, then you can give more notice and spend more time winding down your participation, documenting the current state of your work and possibly training a successor.
The downside is that your employer might terminate you, with standard notice period, but that’s a risk that you can judge, not we, and six weeks – minus standard notice period – is not too long. Personally, if I were your boss and you resigned early, I would thank you and ask you to put things in order for your successor.
