The only reason for the article to exist is to have an excuse to serve ads.
The article has one sentence on using older versions for better compatability with some games.
The rest of the article is basically summed up by “bigger number means newer”
The whole article seemed very surface level and didn’t really give any more info than could be derived from the names of the versions. As for the community forks mentioned people could find much better info just looking at the readme.
Maybe I’m just too technical but it just feels to me as pointless as an article explaining the difference between hot and cold taps on a sink.
Edit: fix autocorrect
Have we really hit the point where we have to explain versioning to people now.
Not just Canada, there’s similar stories for a lot of nationalities, every country should be putting out warnings.
The US has lost it’s mind.
Couple the immigration issues with the fact that planes keep falling out of the sky in their air space due to air traffic control being gutted and even flying to Canada starts becoming dangerous too.
I’ll be avoiding the whole of North America for the foreseeable future, it’s just not safe.
