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?
Windows 95
Windows 2000
This checks out, because Windows 2000 is the best Windows!
Hey! It was Windows Me. Closely followed by Vista.
Just use ‘them’ like a normal person
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.
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.
If my guesses are correct, the major version number of Ubuntu marks the release year
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
Fedora 39 anyone?
Shit takes like 30 minutes to update 😭😭
takes 2-3 min for me
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
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
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…
Factorial included?
This has got to be satire, right? You posted this ironically. I don’t believe for a moment anyone could be this dense on accident.
Yes. It’s a joke. It’s pretty funny, IMO. I’m not sure how you could interpret it as anything else. The wording alone makes it pretty obvious.
Wait until they discover that Windows Server 2022 exists. Also, Windows 2000.
freebsd is 14 something too
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 :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.
You could take the revision number. nixos-unstable has
567011commits currently.
Fedora 39
Windows 98 has entered the chat.
They really went downhill after that.
Me with my Windows 2000 😏
Aren’t there meme communities where you could put this instead?
It’s also a reflection of how much money you will be spending on each ecosystem
Meanwhile, ChromeOS 120 is off the scale
