Linux 3.3 Released

diegocg writes "Linux 3.3 has been released. The changes include the merge of kernel code from the Android project. There is also support for a new architecture (TI C6X), much improved balancing and the ability to restripe between different RAID profiles in Btrfs, and several network improvements: a virtual switch implementation (Open vSwitch) designed for virtualization scenarios, a faster and more scalable alternative to the 'bonding' driver, a configurable limit to the transmission queue of the network devices to fight bufferbloat, a network priority control group and per-cgroup TCP buffer limits. There are also many small features and new drivers and fixes. Here's the full changelog."

So... which part of this release actually provides a compelling reason to use Linux over any other OS?
You've been itching for something to run on that TI C6X system you built?

The fanboisim here makes me gag. Apple has nothing on you guys.

Last time I checked, KDE makes releases nearly every two months. Too-rapid releases with major API changes (such as the ACPI changes in 3.2) can cause rather annoying problems with third-party drivers.

@World, if you're going to use a three-part version number, please follow semver. Don't make API-breaking changes in a minor version.

There are always those that prefer trash in a pretty wrapper to something solid that does not disguises itself. These are called "useful idiots" or "stupid consumers".
