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
This is why Bioshock Infinite is the best game ever made.
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
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
You’re not wrong about their website, but it still only took 2 clicks to get that information. For reference, I can’t find it at all on Debian’s website without clicking download and looking at the version number in the filename. But you can get that in one click so I suppose they’re doing better.
Edit: Sorry, I was wrong, you can see it under the Microsoft Azure section after one click:
Now try to find Linux Mint’s current version number on their website.
On their home page? First thing you see?
Exactly.
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!
They make a pill for that…
Smh my head
freebsd is 14 something too
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!
It really depends on what versioning means for the project. If we are talking about semantic versioning then a lower number only means there haven’t been many breaking changes over time. Or that a lot of broken stuff has been kept that way because it would break compatibility.

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.
Fedora 39
Windows 98 has entered the chat.
They really went downhill after that.
This posted on X? I see no “superiority” here.
Meanwhile, ChromeOS 120 is off the scale
That’s nothing! Darwin is on version 23.
