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
Linux just moved out of 5.x.x hell. Well catch up soon
Browsers compared themselves with this metric for a while, but they had to stop before they reached an integer overflow.
Use gnome then
Wow.! A graph and everything.
That's nothing! Darwin is on version 23.
linux doesn't have a panther checkmate
Pfff my systemd is version 255.2-2, I am lightyears ahead.
FACTS don't care about your feelings! Study reveals Macos is 2 1/3 times better than Linux, massive 27% improvement over Windows!
Windows 2000 enters the room
Mac OS is actually at version 23 (they restarted the count at 10).
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
Lunix sucks so much that it got stuck into the version 2 for years.
You people be bringing Linux distro versions, which are indeed double digits, but the graph really be showing the Linux kernel version, not the distros. And Linux kernel version is indeed 6.7 at the time of writing this
