Comment:
GNOME is a desktop environment and Windows is an operating system, so this isn't a great comparison.
Void Linux is a rolling release distro meaning that there is only one version of Void Linux and that is constantly being updated with the latest versions of packages (with patches and bugfixes if necessary).

Gnome 40 is a new version of the GNOME desktop environment and is not a new DE. (it is meant to replace Gnome 3.38)

There is a versioning scheme that exists with other "stable" distros (which just means that the packages stay the same for that release of the distro and only get patched with bugfixes and security fixes).
