All Linux distros keep publishing new versions: Fedora, Mint, Debian

Yet strangely, I don’t actually notice any change. I’m just a normie user. It seems only computer nerds understand why the new versions are game changers.

Apart from “increased security”, what is actually the point of these releases?

    What? Windows 7, 8, and 10 had completely different UI designs. Even if you ignore the technical differences, the UIs make these versions more easily distinguishable than most Linux distros. 7 was glassy (aero), 8 was flat, colorful, and square (metro), and 10 was also flat, but more refined and less colorful (fluent).

    They are so drastically different that I could tell you which version is being used within 5 seconds of seeing a screenshot of a blank desktop with no icons and just the taskbar.

    You’re on crack.
