Why are Linux, Windows uppercase? Where is macOS? Why is iOS lowercase?

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Apple's preferred spelling is that macOS and iOS not be capitalized, much like xkcd. But yeah, now that you mention it, that just says 'ios'.

Darn lazy memers

It was always pretty humorous to me that Microsoft named its early-2000s mobile operating system "Windows Compact Edition" and abbreviated it (officially) as "WinCE". The capitalization really mattered in this case.

I had the same question. The author didn't seem to employ the scientific rigor to call things by their correct names. It's as if they're treating it like spelling in a meme.

treating it like spelling in a meme

Is spelling things correctly in memes substantially harder than elsewhere?

[-] KazuchijouNo@lemy.lol 1 points 1 week ago

Not really, but it is less rigurous and hardly ever enforced

iOS is lowercase for two reasons:

  • Naming consistency. Since they are already name it iPhone, might as well name the OS the same way.
  • The name was already in use. This may have not been as significant for choosing the name of Apple's OS, but when the first iPhone released, Cisco IOS was already a family of operating systems for routers and network switches, and the Wii had already released a few months before, and they also called the console's operating system(s) as IOS.

I’m talking about “ios” in the meme, not the properly stylized “iOS.”

[-] yetAnotherUser@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

Oops... I misunderstood the question then...

[-] SteveTech@programming.dev 2 points 1 week ago

Pretty sure they're talking about why the meme says, 'WINDOWS', 'LINUX', and 'ios'.
