"The Linux 2.6.31 kernel is still under active development until it is released later this quarter, but the merge window is closed and most of the work going on is to address bugs and other regressions within this massive code-base. Some of the key additions to the Linux 2.6.31 kernel include many graphics-related advancements (merging of the TTM memory manager, Radeon kernel mode-setting, Intel DisplayPort, etc), an ALSA driver for the Creative X-Fi, initial USB 3.0 support, file-system improvements, and much more. To see how the general system performance has been impacted by the new Linux kernel that is in development, we have a few benchmarks today."

Linux is the best kernel/OS ever.
The kernel itself is pretty good, no major issues, stable, works on almost anything ranging from your electronic toothbrush to large-scale supercomputers. But I still don't like how it lacks some stable driver API/ABI. That's one thing that stops certain manufacturers from supporting Linux. And I still find Linux power-management to be flaky.
On the desktop side of things there's also quite a bunch of things that need some attention, but I'll leave the rant to some more proper topic
