Image shows a tweet with the header “and people STILL try to convince me Linux and Windows are better when the DATA clearly shows otherwise. SMH” with an image attached showing the following:
“Operating systems by current version” Mac OS: 14 Windows: 11 Linux: 6
technically, Darwin, the microkernel, is at 23.2.0, but it was based on the Mach microkernel from NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP (which is part of why it stared at 10)
the latest release of macOS is 14.2.1
I wasn’t trying to get into the weeds about actual kernel version numbers; I was just saying they made classic Mac OS from versions 1-9 and OS X from versions 1-14, and 9 + 14 = 23.
right, but the OS version number is 14.2.1. it’s the microkernel that’s 23.2.0
The OS version number is really 10.14.2.1, though.
wrong. Mac OS X ended with Mac OS 10.15 (Catalina) in 2018. macOS Big Sur, macOS 11, was the first in a new generation of macOS that succeeded macOS X and included significant architectural changes to the platform.
the current version is macOS 14.2.1 (Sonoma)
I stand corrected. I gotta be honest: I used to daily-drive OS X up until about a decade ago, but I haven’t paid much attention to it since then.
