Honestly, I just wish they would ditch that disgusting foot logo. I hate it.
Of all the things wrong with GNOME, their choice of logo is at the bottom of the list.
Their insistence that it be pronounced ‘guh-nome’ is a worse crime.
GNU as the animal or the initials, okay, sure. Debatable. Gnome is a whole-ass word. That is ridiculous.
Up there with QT insisting their name isn’t Q-T. The initials are a word. If you wanted it pronounced Qute you should’ve called it that.
I thought you were very much not supposed to read the G?

You mean !woooosh@lemmy.world or c/woooosh@lemmy.world.
Bro thinks he is Nickelodeon 😭
As I tell my wife, feet are gross.

I’ll likely call it 6.0 since I’m starting to worry about getting confused by big numbers again.
I was looking a Linus/Linux comment, I was trying to remember at what point Linus said “I’m incrementing the major version because these numbers are getting too big, there is no major advancement”.
Even stranger is the windows 8 and 8.1 part since this is the one and only time a service pack changed the name of the OS.

At least KDE team knows how to count
41>10>5
GNOME is clearly the best
What about windows 2000
It’s a superior ancient lost technology.
Juking the version number was trendy there for a while. It happened to browser versions to. Firefox and Chrome went from like version 10 to 100.
By 2024 firefox will be on version 1043624x*12^69 where x is the latest version of chrome.
And there is OpenSUSE: 10 11 12 13 42 15
If 42 is a true to Sir Terry Pratchett, then I see anothing wrong with this.

Fuck. I know. I just woke up and haven’t had any coffee yet.
We understand. Regardless, a rule is a rule. Now kindly GTFO.
The system for tumbleweed is nice. There’s only one version : tumbleweed.
From another perspective, you have a new version every few days, with the date as the version
“It’s 34 versions ahead of cinnamon” -GNOME devs probably

64 came after final, at least according to wikipedia
Poor Windows NT.
NT was a parallel line of “professional” windows. It had a different kernel or something. There were equivalent versions to most of the home releases.
The first release was NT 3.1, to match version numbers with the home OS.
NT 4 was the professional version of win 95/98.
In the year 2000 Microsoft released both Windows ME, and Windows 2000. ME for the home, 2000 was the NT release for the workplace.
The products were merged with windows XP, now all windows is windows NT.
The version numbering makes sense if you count by the NT version numbers. 2000/ME is version 5, therefore XP is 6, and if you pretend Vista never existed (as you should for your own sanity) you get to windows 7 and it all starts to make sense.
Because in the end a “version number” is just part of the name. You can call it anything you want.
That still doesn’t explain why you would choose the other two instead of just counting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 like a sane person.
