    It is offensive.

    What are pipes used for? Smoking drugs.

    What does the pipe symbol look like? Trump's Border Wall ||||||||

      What technical reason? Please just don't tell about "some software that checked Windows number and though they are running on Windows 9x" because it was never confirmed officially and looks like myth. Most likely that was marketing reason - 10 looks better for "last Windows" than 9.

      About GNOME - well, I don't like this. I miss times when my browser version was 3.6.28 not 80. major.minor.patch versioning is simple and readable. What version will major release of GNOME get? It will cause confusion and it will be hard to see difference between GNOME 3 and future GNOME 4 in versioning.

        So only reason for group of people to make a decision to change the version scheme is because they dump.
        They do that because they don't want to make a fundamental change to GNOME in near future and have nothing to do being dump.

          I think this is the big takeaway, Gnome Shell 4 is unlikely to happen.

              That would be the technical reason. Anecdotally, that's supposed to be a problem with old, legacy software. With everything MS has done over the years, something like that actually being the case wouldn't surprise me.

                No no no... you are all wrong, this is part of GNOME's direct work with Microsoft to port GNOME to WSL2! Next version will be GNOME 360, followed by GNOME 1 to help all Windows users understand each GNOME generation.

                    He's a yes man with no critical mind of any kind, as most (not all) vanilla Gnome users. What did you expect.

                      Can you send up some of those border pipes? I need to put up a wall between ontario and quebec to keep the wacko's on the east side, and around ottawa, toronto, and vancouver to keep the left winged hippies locked away from the rest of the population. And we can send a few pipes over the walls so the genderless lefty pinko's can smoke whatever they smoke so they stay passive.


                      (and in case anyone is confused, I'm being completely over the top as a response in kind)

                      And I did not fail to notice the "420" in your name, you genderless left-winged pot smoking pinko.
                      Have a border pipe.
