and to think windows had 2000 years ago…

lily33,

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…

db2,

I use Mint 21. Checkmate.

Nixos is at 23.11 :) Also, rolling releases are kinda fun: the latest commit so far is 46ae0210ce163b3cba6c7da08840c1d63de9c701 which roughly translates to nixos-unstable 403509863565239228514588166489915404446713104129 :D

Windows 98 has entered the chat.

milicent_bystandr,

They really went downhill after that.

redcalcium,

Me with my Windows 2000 😏

geekworking,

New versions of software are released because the older version was lacking in some way. Features, security, functionality.

Lowest number wins.

VelociCatTurd,

That’s why I only use TempleOS

don,

I use HAL 9000. Get up on my level.

HAL_9_TRILLION,

I remain unimpressed.

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.

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.

grue,

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.

Bogasse,

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

Gnome goes brr

joeldebruijn,

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

pineapplelover,

ahem I use arch btw

Grangle1,

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

AI_toothbrush,

Use gnome then

Lunix sucks so much that it got stuck into the version 2 for years.
