thisfro,

Gnome goes brr

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.

alice_mac,

I like macOS but this is stupid

brax,

Are those just made up numbers by some apple fanboy? How does an OS that’s in pretty much everything not have a larger stake?

It’s kind of baffling to me how so many people on here don’t get the most obvious of joke / satire…

I mean current version really doesn’t mean anything because people aren’t going to upgrade if the version they’re using is fine. I submit that this is a perfect example of correlation != causation. I may have gotten the order wrong on the not equal symbology since I haven’t used it in a while.

Also, are we talking Linux kernal versions? There are so many problems with this comparison.

People need to stop using 3D bar charts: they’re completely useless to read. Due to the camera angle ‘11’ looks more like 10.7 on the axis

mariusafa,

This plot is so stupid it’s like comparing oranges to chairs. If they wanted to compare Kernels then compare Linux with XNU and Windows NT.

Didn’t know XNU and Windows NT are hybrid kernels, interesting.
