Among the big changes implemented until now in Linux kernel 4.3, we can mention updates to the Nouveau video driver, lots of ARM architecture updates, various improvements to the x86, ARM64, PowerPC (PPC), MIPS, and s390 architectures, the removal of the EXT3 file system (EXT3 layouts will be handled by the EXT4 file system), and numerous updates to wireless and wired networking drivers, and to the several Btrfs, XFS, UFS, NFS, GFS2, and F2FS filesystems.
