Linux isn't an upward curve, either. It mostly is, but those krackle-pops have to put a dent in the curve.

MODERATORS
That's not completely true, in Linux there are many points where old software sucks and new software isn't ready for mass adoption. Like when everyone knew x11 was deprecated but nothing supported Wayland (to this day major WMs like cinnamon and xfce still haven't switched over and most small wms never will). It gets better over time but there are dips in quality and Linux devs do sometimes make mistakes.
True, Linux is both the best and the worst at the same time.
The Base OS is great, but the apps are mostly terrible, with a few notable exceptions.

Win10 is not that bad. And Me was never as bad as Vista or (especially) 8. Also, Linux is not a linear curve, it's stepped.
ME was the worst. DOS based windows 9x in a world with Win2k and XP launched only 1 year later
ME Was DOA even if it had been a "flawless" continuation of 98SE

y'all it's supposed to be a timeline, a hand drawn one too, that's why 8 is where it is. you guys are taking this way too seriously
Windows Vista was better than 8 and 10, a lot of legacy devices in industry kept extended Vista support for years and years.

comparing macos to gravity's rainbow just smells right
I would rather describe Windows as a dampened oscillation with an undefined steady state.
So what you're saying is that there has only ever been one Mac OS and one Linux OS?
How about adding some distros?
