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.

Federa release numbers are not Redhat release numbers.

It’s a mastodon post where “Fedora” has a hashtag, and then it is followed by “Linux 41…”. The title should say “Fedora Linux 41 will be released on October 29”

Very exciting. I’m hyped for the improvements to the touch screen keyboard. I have a surface that I usually use in tablet mode

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.
