From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I hope 4.3 is stable now, because I had to fallback to 3.6 because of how much 4.2 would crash for no reason. Want to see Material View? Crash. Fooled around for 30 minutes? Crash. Tried to load a stl with over 1m triangles? Crash.

Wait like as opposed to before today? Today's release is moving 4.3 from experimental branch to the long-term stable branch (or whatever they call it)
