OS X (obsolete & unsupported since 2018) has more users than macOS?!

~~Also, where did you get those stats? https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/all/north-america has different numbers to yours.~~

A young 'un! Macintosh, surely.

Os9!

I just dont get why they changed it from osx to whatever it is now. 10.4, 10.5, 15.7...

I think it's 26 now. You know, the number that comes after 15.

This post concerns Desktop marketshare, and I believe the OP got it from the following link:

Wait, they renamed it? And back to the previous name? The previous name of the pre-Unix version of the OS was MacOS.

I thought these stats meant there were still significant numbers of people on 25 year old computers.

Shit, just linux.

Use this community for anything related to linux for now, if it gets too huge maybe there will be some sort of meme/gaming/shitpost spinoff. Currently though… go nuts
