minus-square@duncesplayed@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkEnglish97•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@ComradeKhoumrag@infosec.publinkfedilink25•2 years agoWhat if S-curve instead of linear rate?
minus-square@duncesplayed@lemmy.onelinkfedilink44•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@Declamatie@mander.xyzlinkfedilink1•2 years agoEntirely possible if the population dubbles
minus-square@selokichtli@lemmy.mllinkfedilink11•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@valentino@lemmy.mlOPlinkfedilink7•2 years agoThat’s for August. And the growth is exponential, not linear.
minus-square@mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglish4•2 years agoTo a point. Let’s be honest it’s going to be more like an S-curve since you can’t go past 100% market share, and some people will refuse to switch. And people not wanting to switch is fine imo. Having competition will likely help all OS’s get better over time
minus-square@Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilink1•1 year agoi mean i’d prefer the competition to be BSD and such, not windows and macos
minus-square@priapus@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglish1•2 years agoWhy would market share increase linearly?

2138 is the year of the Linux desktop!

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.
