If people really get triggered by this bullshit graph, let's add Arch Linux which is on what? >200? >300?

[-] aBundleOfFerrets@sh.itjust.works 10 points 10 months ago

Arch doesn’t have a global version

[-] Samsy@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago

I know but if I remember correctly there is a version tag at boot, 230 or something was the last I've seen.

I think that is the version for the archiso build, and I don’t think it should be used as a version for the OS

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.
