How diffrent OSes evolve
(lemmy.world)
10 was way way better than 8 though.
People forget XP was pretty bad at first just like Windows 98 and like Windows 98 people became less critical after a bunch of major fixes. For Windows 98 this became Windows 98SE and for XP this became XP SP2 (and eventually 3).
Both Vista and 7 had problems before they were fixed after awhile. The most common issue I can remember was UAC and everyone just told you to turn it off to install and use their software and games. There were also a bunch of breaking Win API stuff and a lot of software made for XP just didn't work anymore in Vista+.
People mainly just remember them after they were fixed, except for Vista because 7 came out fairly quickly (just 2 years later). Microsoft does not have a good track record for initial Windows releases but eventually everyone forgets and even some of the bad ones are remembered as the good ones.
Great meme post! This comment section is a scorching hot dumpster fire that beamed carcinogens directly into my retinas. Thanks I hate it.
Appreciate the warning, I will therefore skip this post o7
MacOS should be a flatline
Nah. Snow Leopard was peak UI and Mojave was the last tolerable version. I really need to make it a winter project to customize my desktop to have some of the UI elements that got lost in Mac.
Fixed:
Wait, did you write an actual function for that graph?
Yes
The Windows function is
cos(pix) + 1
The Linux function is
0.05x^2 - 1/2 cos(pix)
Dude, I am all for people trying and stuff.
I can tell that you are just starting out in the graph game, and that is cool and all. But compare to OP yours looks terrible. I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just trying to save you from the embarrassment.
Take another look at OPs graph and pay attendtion to the different thickness in the lines and the unpredictable curves.
I don't think people got the sarcasm :(
Saying Windows 10 is worse than Windows 8 is just nonsense. Saying macOS is worse now than 5 years ago is… just dumb? And the colour scheme doesn't make any sense, why is the red at macOS literally higher than the green?
OSX peaked in the 2000s and early 2010s. Apple started walling it off more and more a decade ago.
Their hardware has gotten better in the past 5 years with the m series chips and getting rid of that terrible keyboard though.
For the Mac and Linux graphs the color seems to represent the rate. When it's going up it's green and when it's going down it's red.
MacOS
the timeline in the pic is a bit off, but macos is definitely getting worse. I think mavericks was the last version that let you turn off mouse acceleration.
On Sonoma and higher:
System Settings > Mouse > Advanced
On every version:
defaults write .GlobalPreferences com.apple.mouse.scaling -1

Where's RedstarOS?
Redstar os is the best os everyone knows it's the pinnacle of linux engineering

There isn't an universe where 8 was better than 10.
8 was INCREDIBLY fast
It also used little resources and it was the last time Microsoft pulled a massive dev effort to modernize almost everything in Windows, significantly evolving it's display and rendering pipeline and making a whole different design language
8 touch interface was also by far the best touch interface I've used
They also forced the touch-like interface onto computers that didn't have a touch screen.
8.1 Fixed it tough
It was an improvement but still not great. Ideally they would have kept the Windows 7 interface with maybe some upgrades like virtual desktops, then continued with all the under the hood improvements.

I would put win8 lower and win10 as a slight rise but not up to win 7 territory and then plummet. osx should plummet with the iosification of it.
Windows 10 on the same level as ME and Vista?.. And worse than 8 with that fucking Metro UI?
Ok. Ok.....oh...kay.
Look I like Linux and want to eventually abandon windows for it, but this is just mindless circle jerking here
This meme says:
- windows 8 somehow is more beloved than Windows 10 (lmao)
- linux is just one single OS, instead of an agglomerate of hundreds of distributions
- and implies that every single one of them got better with time (lmao)

None of this makes sense
The only thing I disagree with here is Win8 being apparently better than Win10.
Win8 was really damn annoying to use without a touchscreen, and while Win8.1 did help, Win10 was by far the better implementation of PC Metro IMO.
Having said that, Win11 is exactly where it needs to be. It's all of Win10's worst traits cranked up to 11 with a heaping of it's own bullshit and spyware on top
Windows 10 should be a dead cat bounce on this chart. Better than 8, worse than 7, better than 11 by a lot.

Win 10 was definitely an improvement over 8. I'd even argue that 10 as it started out was the best since xp. Of course now 10 has been fully enshitified but it used to be good.

Are you implying that win10 is worse than win8?
Yea, I'd say Win10/11 is on the same good/shit cycle as always
Though whether Win12 breaks it and continues the shitty trend is highly likely at this point

This is less how OSes evolved and more a line of your perception of Windows. Guess windows 7 was your last one.
Win10 compared to straight win8 (not 8.1 or whatever it was that fixed 8) is far superior in some ways. I get people don't like either (I'm a dedicated win8 hater myself), but I would gladly take the win10 UI any day over the horrible failed experiment that was whatever the whole "Everything As An App! No Start Menu!" bullshit they tried in 8. Having your start menu replaced by a full screen app list is the absolute dumbest thing ever and I am so glad we've moved on from that dark age.
Also, what was so bad about Vista? I may have some rose tinted glasses, but I don't remember it being that bad
Vista was extremely laggy
Most of win7 was just "vista but when you click on something, something actually happens"

Vista wasn't that bad. The dodgy selling it on computers that couldn't handle it was an issue (much like they still do with selling laptops with only 32gb storage).
I still think it was one of the nicest looking - black taskbar with the start button sticking up, sidebar widgets, aero glass etc
