Linux 6.6.6 Released Due To WiFi Regression

I figured someone would have posted already, but looks like not! For those looking to rock out to their new kernel, I give you...

Yeah, but Linus already used that for 6.6-rc6.

I don't mind not getting security updates on time I just want a reliable system.

Obviously you should feel free to run whatever you want, but I'm pretty sure the standard definition of "reliable" includes "doesn't get taken over by random script kiddies due to not having installed security updates"

Brings back memories of the great video, 'Mum Tries Out Ubuntu Satanic Edition 666.9' - https://piped.kavin.rocks/watch?v=pLbSp1_CQk8

i updated 4 machines to 6.6.6 today. The same build is running fine on all of them (R5950X, i13700K, i12400, R3700U). 3 AMD GPUs and 1 Nvidia are all running under Wayland. Wifi is okay too. Ext4 had no problems anyway.

Regarding some other comments, I have never seen a latest-stable kernel bug causing trouble for me. Whatever Linus and Linux team are doing since couple decades, they are doing great.

That's because you weren't hit by the bcache+btrfs bug.

The end is nigh!

Doing what? Twiddling thumbs?

Linux went to the dark side some years ago - this is just more illustration - poking fun?

I can confirm bluetooth regression, instead of wifi

My bluetooth randomly stops working since 6.6.2 (or maybe before?) I am forced to reboot to have it working for a few more hours or minutes, depending what the Kernel feels like before it decides I got no adapter anymore and my mouse stops working .

Have been updating every minor version in the hope one of those will fix this annoying bug. So far it has been weeks without any luck!
