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.

And likely windows 12 as well...
And versions of windows 10/11 have the same issue too... v1507, because it was released in July 2015
v1511, Nov 2015
v1607, Aug 2016
v1703, April 2017
v1709, Sep 2017.... wait... oh no that's Oct (17th) 2017 (actual, but close enough)
v1803, April 2018
v1809, Sep 2018... god damnit, I mean Nov 2018 (actual, 2 months later?)
v1903, May 2019

Windows 11 isn't any better
21H2
22H2
23H2
24H2
It's just a mess... it was "good" for a while then turned to straight shit... Where the fuck is 22H1? I consider 2004 supposed to be 20H1...Why even bother with the H2 for Windows 11 at all? There's never an H1... They don't correspond to build numbers or anything like that at this point anyway. I think it's supposed to correspond to halfyears? What happens when they have to push a second version in the second half of the year? Do we get 24H2v2?
I hate companies that fucking change their versioning more than once per product.
H is for half year. So, H1 = first half of the year.
Also, I never knew the four-digit build numbers were related to months. I always thought they were just creating builds and seeing which ones stick. Those that didn't wouldn't be shipped.
