Windows skipped only one number: Windows 9, but we skipped 35 releases. Obvious sign of Linux superiority.

Oops, fixed. The post had “#Fedora” so instinctively I ignored the hashtag.

When talking about the kernel, Windows actually skipped 3 major versions iirc from the top of my head. Windows 8 was Windows (NT) 6.2, and Windows 10 skipped that version number to, well, 10.

I upgraded yesterday, thinking I may have not enough time to do it the rest of the year. It already works great in my AMD Ideapad.

I’ve been using it since the beta, some small hiccups with the new file picker (didn’t work with Steam initially) but everything is working nicely now. Only regression I’ve noticed is that with the new nautilus based file picker, you can’t drag a file from Nautilus to the file picker and have the file picker switch to that location. Hope that gets addressed soon.

I’m running the KDE spin, because, well, just because. It was a bit strange to think about it, like “Nautilus? I’m not having that problem. Wait a minute”. This year I stopped using GNOME, nothing specific about it, just wanted to try Plasma. Wanted to experience the old convenience of Linux to just switch to another DE with a couple of commands.

Already? I’m still using Fedora 39 since that’s the only version supported by CUDA Toolkit :S

Federa release numbers are not Redhat release numbers.

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.
