  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.

    Easy to have a constant upward trend when you start off in your parents basement…

    Are you implying that macOS is the best OS, because its arrow is the highest in the graph?

    Graphing failed

    [–] Gladaed@feddit.org 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    Windows and even Mac are clearly superior. As shown in the graph eventhough Linux is getting better it never even got close.

    [–] abfarid@startrek.website 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    I think the way you worded it doesn't make it obvious that you're criticizing the graph specifically and not the os, hence your downvotes. But yes, that graph is absolute mess.

    What's so bad about win 11 as an OS? For me it's the most stable windows. Of course the MS crap they want you to include is bs, but that's not really the OS

    [–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

    Windows 10 is good, so I don't trust the rest of this now.

    Wasn't 98 the precursor to ME? I thought 2000 was the server version (or something like that)?

    [–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 5 points 7 months ago

    Yep. In the beginning there were two threads of Windows garbage: Win NT (for companies, with NT kernel) and (MSDOS-based) Win 9x for peasants. Win 2000 was the "last" Win NT and Win Me was the last Win 9x.

    That's not 100% true as Me used something called "Real mode DOS" which limited the OS interactions with DOS and Windows XP was an evolution of the NT kernel, and all subsequent windowses come from that kernel (Vista, 7, 8, etc.. and the Server variants).

    Win Me was the "Mistake Edition" because it was half-baked, most of Microsoft was focusing by then on the next iteration of NT and they even didn't ship to developers the Me version but rather Windows 2000.

    And probably Windows Me was on the knowing about 9/11:

    "System Restore suffered from a bug in the date-stamping functionality that could cause System Restore to incorrectly date-stamp snapshots that were taken after September 8, 2001. This could prevent System Restore from locating these snapshots and cause the system restore process to fail. Microsoft released an update to fix this problem."
