Saying Windows 10 is worse than Windows 8 is just nonsense. Saying macOS is worse now than 5 years ago is… just dumb? And the colour scheme doesn't make any sense, why is the red at macOS literally higher than the green?

Win10 compared to straight win8 (not 8.1 or whatever it was that fixed 8) is far superior in some ways. I get people don't like either (I'm a dedicated win8 hater myself), but I would gladly take the win10 UI any day over the horrible failed experiment that was whatever the whole "Everything As An App! No Start Menu!" bullshit they tried in 8. Having your start menu replaced by a full screen app list is the absolute dumbest thing ever and I am so glad we've moved on from that dark age.
Also, what was so bad about Vista? I may have some rose tinted glasses, but I don't remember it being that bad
None of this makes sense
This is less how OSes evolved and more a line of your perception of Windows. Guess windows 7 was your last one.
Win10 is not that bad. And Me was never as bad as Vista or (especially) 8. Also, Linux is not a linear curve, it's stepped.
In my experience, Me was far worse than Vista, and 8 was more just annoying than anything. Sound cards were nearly impossible to use in Me.
There isn't an universe where 8 was better than 10.
8 was INCREDIBLY fast
It also used little resources and it was the last time Microsoft pulled a massive dev effort to modernize almost everything in Windows, significantly evolving it's display and rendering pipeline and making a whole different design language
8 touch interface was also by far the best touch interface I've used
They also forced the touch-like interface onto computers that didn't have a touch screen.
8 had a real small install footprint if I recall. It worked on a lot of really shitty hardware that 10 didn't. 8 is definitely not as popular as 10
Windows 10 on the same level as ME and Vista?.. And worse than 8 with that fucking Metro UI?
Ok. Ok.....oh...kay.
Look I like Linux and want to eventually abandon windows for it, but this is just mindless circle jerking here
This meme says:
- windows 8 somehow is more beloved than Windows 10 (lmao)
- linux is just one single OS, instead of an agglomerate of hundreds of distributions
- and implies that every single one of them got better with time (lmao)
Tell me you're new here without saying you're new.
I feel personally attacked
If your wondering i paid $1 for it at a swap meet, disks are still mint aswell :D
The features aged like milk
"Its the most secure windows version ever!! "
Real meme is in the comments
Where's RedstarOS?
Redstar os is the best os everyone knows it's the pinnacle of linux engineering

Are you implying that win10 is worse than win8?
Yea, I'd say Win10/11 is on the same good/shit cycle as always
Though whether Win12 breaks it and continues the shitty trend is highly likely at this point

Are you implying that macOS is the best OS, because its arrow is the highest in the graph?
Plus why are there no milestones labeled , yet the line has an inflection point so obviously the author has an opinion.
Any idea why MacOSX would trend down recently? I’ve had no objections nor have I heard any. Of course I’m probably in a fanboi echo chamber so could easily have missed someone raining on that parade

The only thing I disagree with here is Win8 being apparently better than Win10.
Win8 was really damn annoying to use without a touchscreen, and while Win8.1 did help, Win10 was by far the better implementation of PC Metro IMO.
Having said that, Win11 is exactly where it needs to be. It's all of Win10's worst traits cranked up to 11 with a heaping of it's own bullshit and spyware on top
Windows 10 should be a dead cat bounce on this chart. Better than 8, worse than 7, better than 11 by a lot.

comparing macos to gravity's rainbow just smells right
y'all it's supposed to be a timeline, a hand drawn one too, that's why 8 is where it is. you guys are taking this way too seriously
Linux is fun! I installed mint ln, everything went well except my wifi wasn't working, spent a while downloading drivers, installing them, turns out I just had the wifi pw wrong. How embarass 🫢
