minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish103•2 years agoJust an FYI that at this rate it’s only going to take another 115 years before Linux has 100% market share.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink48•2 years agoYou mean Linux isn’t going to have 200% market share one day? Shit, I’m starting to think my calculations may have not been totally serious.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink13•edit-22 years agoThis is the same logic that a right wing ex-president of my country used to criticize the current leftist president while talking about the COVID-19 vaccination campaign.
minus-square@[email protected]OPlinkfedilink10•2 years agoThat’s for August. And the growth is exponential, not linear.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish5•2 years agoTo a point.

I get that, I just like math
Entirely possible if the population dubbles
Market share is usually a curve.
2138, year of the Linux desktop.
Exacting 100years after y2k38

That’s fine, there’s no rush.
