Linus Torvalds wrote in the Linux 6.19 release announcement:

"I have more than three dozen pull requests for when the merge window opens tomorrow - thank you to all the early maintainers. And as people have mostly figured out, I'm getting to the point where I'm being confused by large numbers (almost running out of fingers and toes again), so the next kernel is going to be called 7.0."

I've had considerably more replies on Lemmy from people who definitely don't understand how sarcasm works, than on Reddit. As a likely autistic person who will live and die by snark, I find this annoying.

Yeah because by "bots" I mean sweatshop workers in Vietnam and Thailand.

This finally explains why he makes weird major version switches. Because it's certainly not semantic versioning.

Finally! I can move on from Linux Vista, but I'm skipping 8 and just waiting for Linux 10.
