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
Technically version 5.0
Shoud we tell her/him/… about Gnome 45?
Just use ‘them’ like a normal person
Windows 95
Windows 2000
I use Mint 21. Checkmate.
Nixos is at 23.11 :) Also, rolling releases are kinda fun: the latest commit so far is
46ae0210ce163b3cba6c7da08840c1d63de9c701
which roughly translates to nixos-unstable 403509863565239228514588166489915404446713104129 :DLaughs in Fedora 39
Windows 98 enters the chat
Windows 2000 says hi to Windows 98
Windows Server 2022 kicks 2000 in the balls, does a line of coke, and crashes.
Windows 98 has entered the chat.
They really went downhill after that.
Me with my Windows 2000 😏
Fedora 39
Fedora 39 anyone?
Shit takes like 30 minutes to update 😭😭
This, but unironically used as a marketing trick:
There was no v1 of Oracle Database, as co-founder Larry Ellison “knew no one would want to buy version 1”
That’s why the first Oracle database is v2.
this is what happened to windows 9, too.
No, the problem with Windows 9 is that a lot of things compared the version with

as a catch all for windows 95 and 98, so they were worried with backwards compatibility.
Pfff my systemd is version 255.2-2, I am lightyears ahead.
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.
It’s also a reflection of how much money you will be spending on each ecosystem
but wouldnt lower numbers mean no one needed to fix & revamp a working OS?
higher numbers mean more fuckups than needed to be fixed until it was so broken there was no longer a way to code you way out, had to start right from the start!
no it just means the OS is abandoned obviously, don’t you know that any library with no commits in the last 20 minutes is not worth using /s
Linux just moved out of 5.x.x hell. Well catch up soon
I’m going to invoke Poe’s Law and not assume this is sarcasm.
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.
