Of all the things wrong with GNOME, their choice of logo is at the bottom of the list.
Their insistence that it be pronounced ‘guh-nome’ is a worse crime.
GNU as the animal or the initials, okay, sure. Debatable. Gnome is a whole-ass word. That is ridiculous.
Up there with QT insisting their name isn’t Q-T. The initials are a word. If you wanted it pronounced Qute you should’ve called it that.
I thought you were very much not supposed to read the G?

You mean !woooosh@lemmy.world or c/woooosh@lemmy.world.

As I tell my wife, feet are gross.
Your poor wife.
I’ll likely call it 6.0 since I’m starting to worry about getting confused by big numbers again.
I was looking a Linus/Linux comment, I was trying to remember at what point Linus said “I’m incrementing the major version because these numbers are getting too big, there is no major advancement”.
ill be downloading this image thank you very much
Even stranger is the windows 8 and 8.1 part since this is the one and only time a service pack changed the name of the OS.

41>10>5
GNOME is clearly the best

See also the Doom numbering system: Ultimate, 2, 64, Final, 3, (2016), Eternal.
64 came after final, at least according to wikipedia
And there is OpenSUSE: 10 11 12 13 42 15
The system for tumbleweed is nice. There’s only one version : tumbleweed.
From another perspective, you have a new version every few days, with the date as the version
If 42 is a true to Sir Terry Pratchett, then I see anothing wrong with this.

Fuck. I know. I just woke up and haven’t had any coffee yet.
Juking the version number was trendy there for a while. It happened to browser versions to. Firefox and Chrome went from like version 10 to 100.
By 2024 firefox will be on version 1043624x*12^69 where x is the latest version of chrome.
“It’s 34 versions ahead of cinnamon” -GNOME devs probably

Can you explain the aesthetic reasoning for GNOME?
Simple, OP and some people just don’t know what they are talking about. There was no “aesthetic reason”.
One of the big changes in GNOME 40 (that would be 3.40) was the introduction of GTK4. People used to assume that the gnome major versioning scheme was tied to GTK, so loads of people were asking the devs when GNOME 4 was coming out.
To demistify this idea of one being tied to the other they just dropped the “3.”, specially since that part wasn’t that relevant and started with the 40.
women and gay men crave the big numbers
