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
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 trying to 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.
One of those bigger numbers is better herd instincts

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.
No, the problem with Windows 9 is that a lot of things compared the version with
9*as a catch all for windows 95 and 98, so they were worried with backwards compatibility.
It’s also a reflection of how much money you will be spending on each ecosystem
and to think windows had 2000 years ago…
I use Mint 21. Checkmate.
Fedora 39
Nixos is at 23.11 :) Also, rolling releases are kinda fun: the latest commit so far is
46ae0210ce163b3cba6c7da08840c1d63de9c701which 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 😏
I like macOS but this is stupid
Fedora 39
Manjaro 23
Ubuntu 23
Linux Mint 21
Debian 12I raise to you the current version of openSUSE Tumbleweed: 20240108! I think we’ve got the winner…
This plot is so stupid it’s like comparing oranges to chairs. If they wanted to compare Kernels then compare Linux with XNU and Windows NT.
Didn’t know XNU and Windows NT are hybrid kernels, interesting.
Lowest version number, lowest need for radical change to keep up to date. Golf rules. Linux wins. Somebody get Tux a green jacket.
I mean, technically Linux is still at 2.6, they’ve just been making up version numbers for the last 20 years or so.
All version numbers are made up
Yeah all I see is 14 huge failures. :)
Linux version 6 is a bit of a stretch though since it’s just the kernel. I guess they could have put Ubuntu 23 up there to make it “win”…
I guess. I had lots of issues with Fedora in the past so can’t recommend it personally but some people like it.
My version is 20240107. Apple has some catching up to do.
Bro, is the apple os from the year 14 💀💀💀(THREE whole skull emojis for added emphasis)
Imagine someone thinking 07012024 would be a better scheme 😂
Aren’t there meme communities where you could put this instead?
Meanwhile, ChromeOS 120 is off the scale
