      What if its exponential growth?

      Then we should expect that in ~35 years, 200% of users will be using desktop linux.

          It is an older math, Sir. I was going to let them pass.

          Ok, fine, I’ll do the actual curve fitting instead of just estimating.

          Eyeballing it, were saying 1% in 2013, 2% in 2021, 3% in 2023?

          Gives us a fit of…

          0.873 * exp(0.118 * x)

          So…

          Correct the equation and solve for x

          x_target = np.log(200 / a) / b

          Calculate the actual year

          year_target = 2013 + x_target

          print(year_target)

          In ~2058 everyone will be using two linux desktops at once.

            If you don’t think of the increase in speed of new users as continuing to increase exponentially.

              Isn’t that the point of the exponent in the exponential function?
