The work days are long and the macOS versions are short. Is it just me or does Snow Leopard feel like 4-5 years ago? I've been using macOS since the original X (10.0.0) was released. This is what getting old (40) feels like... Paired with a pandemic, Catalina feels like yesterday. Sonoma 14.1 2023 Ventura 13.6 2022 Monterey 12.7 2021 Big Sur 11.7 2020 Catalina 10.15 2019 Mojave 10.14 2018 H. Sierra 10.13 2017 Sierra 10.12 2016 El Cap 10.11 2015 Yosemite 10.10 2014 Mavericks 10.9 2013 Mtn Lion 10.8 2012 Lion 10.7 2011 Snow Leo 10.6 2009 Leopard 10.5 2007 Tiger 10.4 2005 Panther 10.3 2003 Jaguar 10.2 2002 Puma 10.1 2001 Cheetah 10.0 2001 Edit: Years... like they mean anything, heh!

Snow Leopard was 2009. Didn’t check your other dates. I knew that was wrong as I had a 2008 aluminium unibody MacBook that shipped with Leopard and Snow Leopard came some time after I bought it.

  Fixed. I was using "Date announced" instead of "Release date" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS

They have all felt the same to me the last decade, I'm not sure what I am using at the moment.

Tiger was Spring of 2005, Leopard was Fall of 2007. That one was delayed several months because Apple had to divert resources to ship the first iPhone. Snow Leopard was Fall 2009, then Apple basically moved onto the yearly release cycle in Summer 2011 with Lion and moved it to Fall of every year with Mavericks in 2013. I believe Mavericks was also when Apple stopped charging for OS upgrades.

It’s not just you — something happened with me where I mentally checked out from the MacOS train after Lion. The versions from Mavericks and up are “those newfangled versions with their silly names”. And Mavericks is 10 years old! Maybe it was the RDF wearing off.
