Weird way to list and sort OSs there.
Microsoft Windows but last, due to the W I guess but macOS has no Apple in it.
- Etheryte 3y agoThe official name of the operating system built by Microsoft is Microsoft Windows. For the OS developed by Apple it's macOS. These are their actual names, this has no personal bias in it.
- dustfinger 3y agoI think manojlds point is why the OS names are not sorted by the first word in their name as opposed to the last word in their name. Microsoft Windows should have come right after macOS, if the list was sorted alphabetically by first word, then last. It must be sorted by last, then first though. I guess it is a bit of a strange choice since most OS distributions seem to have a single word for their name, making Microsoft Windows appear miss-sorted.
- diggan 3y agoWindows is 100% in the bottom not because of the name but because it is proprietary. The author of the website (Drew DeVault) is a devout FOSS proponent.
- intelVISA 3y agoMakes sense, objectively it's also the worst OS.
- kawzeg 3y agoIf the whole list was sorted last, then first, "Alpine Linux" wouldn't appear first.
- dustfinger 3y agoYou are right. Thank you for pointing that out.
