Just an FYI that at this rate it’s only going to take another 115 years before Linux has 100% market share.

That’s for August. And the growth is exponential, not linear.

To 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

i mean i’d prefer the competition to be BSD and such, not windows and macos

What if S-curve instead of linear rate?

You 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.

I get that, I just like math

Entirely possible if the population dubbles

Market is share is usually a curve.

This is the same logic that a right wing ex-president of my country used to criticize the current lefttist president while talking about the COVID-19 vaccination campaign.

That’s fine, there’s no rush.

Why would market share increase linearly?
