milicent_bystandr,

That’s why it’s better than Ubuntu 23

okamiueru, in Linux in the corporate space

Linux the past 15 years across 4 different companies. CentOS, Ubuntu, then Arch. Now I’m stuck with MacOS, and it’s worse in every single way except laptop battery life of the M2. Which, is nice when moving around. I’d still prefer a more powerful desktop computer since I’m 99% of time time in one of two places.

Use gnome then

Lowest version number, lowest need for radical change to keep up to date. Golf rules. Linux wins. Somebody get Tux a green jacket.

yardy_sardley,

I mean, technically Linux is still at 2.6, they’ve just been making up version numbers for the last 20 years or so.

Spoonbit,

:(

thecrotch,

All version numbers are made up

const_void, in Solene'% : NovaCustom NV41 laptop review

Good to see more laptops being release with Dasharo/Coreboot. Proprietary firmware needs to die.

throwawayish,

Good to see more laptops being release with Dasharo/Coreboot.

Can’t agree more. I hope that Framework will soon follow suit.

MacOS according to other metrics tho. … xkcd.com/1056/

There’s always an XKCD about it! I love it!

Gnome goes brr

Browsers compared themselves with this metric for a while, but they had to stop before they reached an integer overflow.

Mac OS is actually at version 23 (they restarted the count at 10).

gregorum, (edited )

technically, Darwin, the microkernel, is at 23.2.0, but it was based on the Mach microkernel from NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP (which is part of why it stared at 10)

the latest release of macOS is 14.2.1

grue,

I wasn’t trying to get into the weeds about actual kernel version numbers; I was just saying they made classic Mac OS from versions 1-9 and OS X from versions 1-14, and 9 + 14 = 23.

gregorum,

right, but the OS version number is 14.2.1. it’s the microkernel that’s 23.2.0

grue,

The OS version number is really 10.14.2.1, though.

gregorum, (edited )

wrong. Mac OS X ended with Mac OS 10.15 (Catalina) in 2018. macOS Big Sur, macOS 11, was the first in a new generation of macOS that succeeded macOS X and included significant architectural changes to the platform.

the current version is macOS 14.2.1 (Sonoma)

grue,

I stand corrected. I gotta be honest: I used to daily-drive OS X up until about a decade ago, but I haven’t paid much attention to it since then.

0konomiyaki, in Linux in the corporate space

We use Ubuntu at my work. Custom built image PXE booted so every restart is fresh. Has its pros and cons. Libre office does a decent job at replacing Office but we use Google workspace so most users are moving off local files. 90% of our users work could be done entirely through a Web browser so OS doesn’t really matter as much any more.

ChromeOS hit version 119 in December. That one is obviously the best.

This community has such a bias against web apps.

thecrotch,

I’d say this community has a much larger bias against Google, but that one is pretty justifiable.

Windows 2000 enters the room

I recall at one point Windows 10 was going to be the last version of the OS and they would just maintain that. I’m wondering if they said that to get the last of the Windows 7 and XP users to finally move to 10?

ultranaut,

Windows 11 is kind of technically still just Windows 10 under the hood.

TheFriendlyDickhead, (edited )

And on the hood too. They realy didn’t change that much. Made a few things “simpler” aka worse and that’s it

words_number,

Hahaha so true

Stillhart,

Windows was still DOS under the hood for a long time. Win 98 was Win 95. Win 8 was Win 7. This is nothing new for MS.

TheRedSpade,

That was never the company’s official stance. One (non-spokesperson) employee said it once, and people ran with it.

don, in Some of y'all need to see this and drop the superiority complex...

I use HAL 9000. Get up on my level.

HAL_9_TRILLION,

I remain unimpressed.
