wait people are still using os x??

[–] chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

MacOS is very popular. Many places uses OSX as the name for macOS, which is stupid.

It's just a hold over from a previous time in Apple's desktop naming scheme. System 6, 7, 8, 9, to (Mac) OS X and finally to macOS. OS X ran from 2001 till 2020 when big Sur released.

That explanation would make sense if it didn't show 21% OSX and 8.6% macOS
