Linus Torvalds Says Linux 4.0 Could Be Out In Three Years
darthcamaro writes "The wait between Linux 2.x and 3.x was a long one, but the wait to Linux 4? Well, that will only be a matter of three years, according to Linus Torvalds. '"It's just mentally much easier for people to remember the small number," Torvalds said during the LinuxCon conference in San Diego [Wednesday]. "We'll do 4.0 in three years maybe when the sub numbers have grown in the 20's and our feeble brains can't handle it."'"
If this site really were "news for nerds" Wed have a lot more Apple stories and a lot less linsux stories. I mean com on Amiga os was interesting for a while but it too lost to Apple's superior engineering and design skill. So could we get some stories around here for an os that nerds actually use rather than for one they don't?
Think different.
Think BETTER.
Think Apple.
As weird as it sounds, I don't think there would be much complaining. The only time I ever see Linux users smiling is when they get to fix something that went wrong, all the while telling me how much better their OS is than the corporate crap that I run on my machine. The changelog will look something like:
* 4.0 changelog *
- changed version number
- changed algorithm that controls randomness of the "holy shit my printer is actually working" function; is now even more random.
- backward compatability broken. enjoy!
