“Operating systems by current version” Mac OS: 14 Windows: 11 Linux: 6

    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!

    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.

    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.

      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
