linux MAJOR 0 lasted from sep 1991 (0.01) to mar 1994 (1.0), a total of 30 months
linux MAJOR 1 lasted from mar 1994 (1.0) to jun 1996 (2.0), a total of 27 months
linux MAJOR 2 lasted from jun 1996 (2.0) to jul 2011 (3.0), a total of 181 months
linux MAJOR 3 lasted from jul 2011 (3.0) to apr 2015 (4.0), a total of 45 months
linux MAJOR 4 lasted from apr 2015 (4.0) to mar 2019 (5.0), a total of 47 months
linux MAJOR 5 lasted from mar 2019 (5.0) to oct 2022 (6.0), a total of 43 months
linux MAJOR 6 will last roughly 40 months as well

from this we can conclude:
the 1 series was the weakest, followed by the 0 series
all of the 3, 4, 5, and 6 series were roughly the same ("meh")
linux 2.x is the ultimate form of the kernel

bonus facts: 2.0-2.2 is 30 months, 2.2-2.4 is 24 months, 2.4-2.6 is 35 months, 2.6-3.0 is 92 months
meaning that the 2.0, 2.2, 2.4 series are all roughly equivalent to the earlier/later MAJORs, the 2.6 series is the One True Kernel Version
we could be on 2.6.119 right now, the true name of 6.19

math probably full of OBOs because I'm eepy
