“Operating systems by current version” Mac OS: 14 Windows: 11 Linux: 6
I use Mint 21. Checkmate.
Nixos is at 23.11 :) Also, rolling releases are kinda fun: the latest commit so far is
46ae0210ce163b3cba6c7da08840c1d63de9c701which roughly translates to nixos-unstable 403509863565239228514588166489915404446713104129 :DYou could take the revision number. nixos-unstable has
567011commits currently.
Windows 98 has entered the chat.
They really went downhill after that.
and to think windows had 2000 years ago…
Well, when you get from 3 to 2000 in only a few years, the vast majority of these versions will be unusable. No wonder they had to drop everything after 11…
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
9*as a catch all for windows 95 and 98, so they were worried with backwards compatibility.What’s wrong with 9 though ? Didn’t iPhone also skip 9 ?
Dunno. But that’s a hardware model, ;)
That’s a fun fact
This is why Bioshock Infinite is the best game ever made.
well, 23 years ago this graph would have had windows 2000 WAY in the lead.
Anime PFP leads me to believe OP uses arch btw.
Meanwhile, ChromeOS 120 is off the scale
My version is 20240107. Apple has some catching up to do.
Imagine someone thinking 07012024 would be a better scheme 😂
Shoud we tell her/him/… about Gnome 45?
Windows 95
Windows 2000
New versions of software are released because the older version was lacking in some way. Features, security, functionality.
Lowest number wins.
That’s why I only use TempleOS
Lowest version number, lowest need for radical change to keep up to date. Golf rules. Linux wins. Somebody get Tux a green jacket.
Windows 2000 wins I think
Windows Server 2022
Oh dang!
Aren’t there meme communities where you could put this instead?
I use HAL 9000. Get up on my level.
I remain unimpressed.
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.

Correct; the minor number is also the month. Which is why they’re almost always .04 or .10; the LTS version is always released in April, with non-LTS releases that serve a similar purpose to Debian Unstable (newer package base at the possible expense of more bugs) are released in October. They also have a convoluted codename system, as many point release distros do.
Only the April releases in even years are LTS
