Linux kernel 4.6 has been announced by Linus Torvalds on May 15, 2016, but its adoption amongst various popular GNU/Linux operating systems is rather slow. Some have waited for the first point release announced last week on June 1, with which many users reported boot issues, but only a couple are using it, openSUSE Tumbleweed and Arch Linux, as far as we know.
