Thanks for the new e-mail signature.
Pffft, Windows is already on 11, and MacOS is something like 26. Linux needs to catch up.
Fedora is on 43…
Arch is on 2026…
number go UP! let’s GOOOOO!
But the current kernel isn’t called Vista. Does Linus know how to count?
Nice! Just in time for the release of PC 2
Finally! I can move on from Linux Vista, but I’m skipping 8 and just waiting for Linux 10.
Fun fact; Linux kernel 3.11 was subtitled “Linux for Workgroups”.
So… it’s going from 6 to 7?
That’s BIG! That changes EVERYTHING!!!
Mostly it changes the version number.
Linus Torvalds wrote in the Linux 6.19 release announcement:
“I have more than three dozen pull requests for when the merge window opens tomorrow - thank you to all the early maintainers. And as people have mostly figured out, I’m getting to the point where I’m being confused by large numbers (almost running out of fingers and toes again), so the next kernel is going to be called 7.0.”

As another observer I appreciate you
I’ve had considerably more replies on Lemmy from people who definitely don’t understand how sarcasm works, than on Reddit. As a likely autistic person who will live and die by snark, I find this annoying.
That’s because Reddit is 90% bots now.
Are they better at detecting sarcasm?
Yeah because by “bots” I mean sweatshop workers in Vietnam and Thailand.
This finally explains why he makes weird major version switches. Because it’s certainly not semantic versioning.
It’s never been SemVer.
Meanwhile MAME on 0.285…
Finally! I hope Linux 7 can live up to the OG
As always, awesome work! Thanks, Linus!
meanwhile me still on 6.8
they should just go with chrome and firefox numbers; linux kernel 144
Bigger number better!
