This graph is clearly missing some important data.

  • Zorin is at 17
  • Ubuntu is at version 23
  • Fedora 39
  • KDE Neon 20240104

Now you can all migrate onto the REAL winner.

[–] Emerald 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Honestly KDE Neon is pretty good.

edit: wow actually that whole tier list is accurate

  1. KDE neon
  2. Fedora
  3. Ubuntu
  4. Zorin

The addition of not only 3D, but a metallic shine, really makes the chart ring true.

We peaked with Windows 2000. Operational systems have been going downhill ever since.

[–] PeterPoopshit 15 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Temple OS was the peak of operating systems.

Windows 2022 has entered the chat.

XP was a solid OS.

[–] Matriks404 1 points 5 months ago

In some ways yes. I don't think there was an OS that was that much clean looking and without bloat while having a good base. The basic install only gave you what you really need, and there's some beauty in that.

I guess text-based Debian install would be comparable for servers, but that's it.

That said I don't think we necessarily went backwards, but just in different direction that some people dislike, and that's OK, nowadays we have options anyway.

This is so stupid, I love it!

ChromeOS just released version 119, bow down before your god, peasants!

[–] Dehydrated 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That's nothing compared to Windows 2000

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

arch linux is at 2024.01.01

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

His brother does though, a -lot-.

Clearly wrong, Mac OS has been at 10 for almost 25 years.

[–] Dehydrated 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

They don't call it OSX anymore. They renamed to macOS in 2016. Then in 2020 they changed the naming scheme from 10.X to X. There was 10.14, 10.15 and then macOS 11, macOS 12, etc.

[–] abbotsbury 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Damn, first they got rid of the big cats, then changed it to macOS, and now they've gotten rid of the X

[–] evidences 5 points 5 months ago

I'm fairness to apple they were just ahead of the game in dropping X.

Windows has been at 10 for a while too.

Windows 11 runs on the Windows NT version 10.

[–] Matriks404 2 points 5 months ago

I don't think NT version means anything anymore, except for some compatibility checking, but I think modern software checks more for dependencies than what Windows version it is running on. The reason probably is that not much software uses native Win32 API's anyway but they use frameworks, libraries, etc., and these probably check for something else than NT number (like feature update string or OS build).

I can be wrong though.

† lucia scarlet 🩸, @luciascarlet and people STILL try to convince me Linux and Windows are better when the DATA clearly shows otherwise. SMH

[A 3D column bar chart is shown. The title is "Operating systems by current version". Linux has a value of 6. Windows has a value of 11. macOS has a value of 14.]

[–] macrocarpa 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Can't fool me, those are fridges

[–] Dehydrated 1 points 5 months ago

Now that I think about it, you're right.
