    Nixos is at 23.11 :) Also, rolling releases are kinda fun: the latest commit so far is 46ae0210ce163b3cba6c7da08840c1d63de9c701 which roughly translates to nixos-unstable 403509863565239228514588166489915404446713104129 :D

    This, but unironically used as a marketing trick:

    There was no v1 of Oracle Database, as co-founder Larry Ellison "knew no one would want to buy version 1"

    That's why the first Oracle database is v2.

    Lowest version number, lowest need for radical change to keep up to date. Golf rules. Linux wins. Somebody get Tux a green jacket.

    New versions of software are released because the older version was lacking in some way. Features, security, functionality.

    Lowest number wins.

    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.

    but wouldnt lower numbers mean no one needed to fix & revamp a working OS?

    higher numbers mean more fuckups than needed to be fixed until it was so broken there was no longer a way to code you way out, had to start right from the start!

    My phone is on 23. Nextcloud is on 27.

    I'm Arch and so is my wife (actually) and it doesn't have a version. We just roll ... and today my dongled, wireless mouse has stopped moving. The buttons still work and my laptop touchpad works fine.

    wtf!
