From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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
this is what happened to windows 9, too.
No, the problem with Windows 9 is that a lot of things compared the version with
9*as a catch all for windows 95 and 98, so they were worried with backwards compatibility.There wasn't a Windows 9 because a lot of (poorly) written software will do a system check for Windows version and if the first number is "9", it won't work and complain that you need to be using a Windows OS newer than Windows 9x (95/98).
It was just for backwards compatibility more than anything.
What’s wrong with 9 though ? Didn’t iPhone also skip 9 ?
After the X/XS/XR phones they went to the 11. If the XS was 10 then the X would be 9. It is a bit weird for them to do 8 and 9 at the same time, though.
but the X is a Roman numeral hence why Apple demands that OSX be pronounced as "OS ten"
(I have not heard anyone who is not an Apple employee call it that but it's the official stance, you can look it up)
Dunno. But that’s a hardware model, ;)
