> 6 years ago, with the release of Windows 10, it was all about "this is the last version of Windows!" and they went with the rolling release model. A little strange but they stuck with it for 6 years until suddenly this summer they announce Windows 11

Because in 2020, after many years at 10, macOS bumped its version up to 11. [1]

They were still bumping a number, but it was the minor version.

But regardless, no one ever really mentioned the numbers. There was a hard announcement of the new OSX/macOS version every year with a flashy new name, first cats, then California locations. I don't think anyone ever considered OSX a rolling release in the same way Windows 10 was.

And Debian is also on 11.

(GCC too, and, technically, X)

X11 is deprecated though.
