It's funny that people's reaction to this is saying that this is the same naming convention car makers use for their cars - when my immediate reaction is, ah, it's that #Ubuntu naming scheme which I used to find weird, but is clearly increasing in popularity nowadays lol.
Anyway, this naming scheme makes sense esp considering how Apple just has a fuck ton of OS-es under their belt lol including #iPadOS, #watchOS, and #visionOS. Anyway, can't wait for the #macOS 26.09 LTS release!

If they fell behind for whatever reason the public would assume that the product was 'outdated', 'low priority', and hold off on purchase.
So the companies realized it was taking away control of the release cycle from them..
so if they dedicate to just always release each year I suppose it makes ... meh sense; but I don't really see the advantage. It makes more sense for ubuntu because ubuntu is as much a snapshot of other FOSS software repo as Canonicals own software.
