Nice, I hope Windows dies
Thanks for the new e-mail signature.
Pffft, Windows is already on 11, and MacOS is something like 26. Linux needs to catch up.
Fedora is on 43…
Arch is on 2026...
number go UP! let's GOOOOO!
Nice! Just in time for the release of PC 2
Too late.
That's BIG! That changes EVERYTHING!!!
Mostly it changes the version number.

as an observer, i appreciated this clean and efficient exchange of information
As another observer I appreciate you
I've had considerably more replies on Lemmy from people who definitely don't understand how sarcasm works, than on Reddit. As a likely autistic person who will live and die by snark, I find this annoying.
That's because Reddit is 90% bots now.
Are they better at detecting sarcasm?
Yeah because by "bots" I mean sweatshop workers in Vietnam and Thailand.
This finally explains why he makes weird major version switches. Because it's certainly not semantic versioning.
It's never been SemVer.
Finally! I can move on from Linux Vista, but I'm skipping 8 and just waiting for Linux 10.
Fun fact; Linux kernel 3.11 was subtitled "Linux for Workgroups".
Finally! I hope Linux 7 can live up to the OG
Meanwhile MAME on 0.285...
So... it's going from 6 to 7?
But the current kernel isn't called Vista. Does Linus know how to count?
As always, awesome work! Thanks, Linus!
Glad Linux hasn't moved to the asinine whole-number versioning trend.
Bigger number better!
meanwhile me still on 6.8
they should just go with chrome and firefox numbers; linux kernel 144
Lucky!
