Image shows a tweet with the header “and people STILL try to convince me Linux and Windows are better when the DATA clearly shows otherwise. SMH” with an image attached showing the following:
“Operating systems by current version” Mac OS: 14 Windows: 11 Linux: 6
FACTS don’t care about your feelings! Study reveals Macos is 2 1/3 times better than Linux, massive 27% improvement over Windows!
Shoud we tell her/him/… about Gnome 45?
Windows 95
Windows 2000
This checks out, because Windows 2000 is the best Windows!
Aren’t there meme communities where you could put this instead?
My phone is on 23. Nextcloud is on 27.
I’m Arch and so is my wife (actually) and it doesn’t have a version. We just roll … and today my dongled, wireless mouse has stopped moving. The buttons still work and my laptop touchpad works fine.
wtf!
Are we sure this isn’t satire?
…no? It obviously is
freebsd is 14 something too
The Linux Kernel version is at 6 point something, I think they’re working on version 7. That’s not the OS though, the current Ubuntu version under LTS is 22.04. That’s more than twice as much as Windows.
Note I had to get this information from Wikipedia because Ubuntu’s website is currently unusable corporate garbagepuke.
If my guesses are correct, the major version number of Ubuntu marks the release year
This is how mac user do statistics?
Wow.! A graph and everything.
But number must go up!
non ironically, firefox did a jump in version numbers after firefox 4 because people were seeing the low number compared to other browsers, and would think they were behind technically.
While true & I remember folks actually using this in arguments for ‘slow development’, there is some merit to versioning differently for something expected to get minor updates to perpetually follow latest specs such. I can’t imagine tryingbto discern what a “breaking change” would be in this context. Or would you make a new version for every visual redesign? Dates might have just made more sense, but maybe ESR is easier to follow with the current scheme.
Wait until they discover that Windows Server 2022 exists. Also, Windows 2000.
Linux just moved out of 5.x.x hell. Well catch up soon
Isn’t it Mac OS X 14? I.e., Mac OS 10.14?
No they ditched OSX and yearly point updates in 2020 and went from Mac OSX 10.15.7 to MacOS 11.0
The next yearly release was MacOS 12.
It’s now up to 14.2.1
If people really get triggered by this bullshit graph, let’s add Arch Linux which is on what? >200? >300?
Arch doesn’t have a global version
I know but if I remember correctly there is a version tag at boot, 230 or something was the last I’ve seen.
I think that is the version for the archiso build, and I don’t think it should be used as a version for the OS
Clearly the current version is 2024.01.01
Current Release: 2024.01.01
Included Kernel: 6.6.8
ISO Size: 883.3 MB
