The Linux Kernel version is at 6 point something, I think they're working on version 7. That's not the OS though, the current Ubuntu version under LTS is 22.04. That's more than twice as much as Windows.

Note I had to get this information from Wikipedia because Ubuntu's website is currently unusable corporate garbagepuke.

    You’re not wrong about their website, but it still only took 2 clicks to get that information. For reference, I can’t find it at all on Debian’s website without clicking download and looking at the version number in the filename. But you can get that in one click so I suppose they’re doing better.

    Edit: Sorry, I was wrong, you can see it under the Microsoft Azure section after one click:

    Correct; the minor number is also the month. Which is why they're almost always .04 or .10; the LTS version is always released in April, with non-LTS releases that serve a similar purpose to Debian Unstable (newer package base at the possible expense of more bugs) are released in October. They also have a convoluted codename system, as many point release distros do.
