minus-squareduncesplayed@lemmy.onehexbear48·1 year agoJust an FYI that at this rate it's only going to take another 115 years before Linux has 100% market share. linkfedilink
minus-squareComradeKhoumrag@infosec.pubhexbear16·1 year agoWhat if S-curve instead of linear rate? linkfedilink
minus-squareduncesplayed@lemmy.onehexbear26·1 year 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. linkfedilink
minus-squareDeclamatie@mander.xyzhexbear1·1 year agoEntirely possible if the population dubbles linkfedilink
minus-squarevalentino@lemmy.mlhexagonhexbear8·1 year agoThat's for August. And the growth is exponential, not linear. linkfedilink
minus-squaremnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.workshexbear3·1 year agoTo a point.

minus-squarepriapus@sh.itjust.workshexbear1·1 year agoWhy would market share increase linearly? linkfedilink

I get that, I just like math
