This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:

- Anon is often depressed.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Holy shit, will AI cause the Linux renaissance?
It's already doing it. Steam data showed a 100% increase in Linux clients after a "one too many" Windows updates fucked something up last year.
Note: it's still hovering around the margin of error, but it's strengthening. I think it went from 1.5% to 3%.
It's 5% now
dont... dont phrase sentences like this
Why? It's objective truth - it went from 1.5% to 3%, which is a 100% increase.
I agree, but it buries the lede of the adoption only increasing by 1.5%. They could have written "doubled from X to Y" to at least prepare our expectations that it might not be a high increment
It's huge. Imagine if news said that 1,5% of people had recently switched to bycicles for their commute. What would your reaction be?
That's a fair point, I didn't consider the numbers
First of all, nobody expects Linux to have much of market share in gaming anyway, so I don't know who would think that a 100% increase is somehow not "preparing expectations". Unless someone doesn't undersand how percentages work, I guess.
Secondly, I specified what kind of increase it was.
I was nevertheless blind sided by your reckless comment, and demand commiseration immediately. In the form of a poem.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Don't know how to poem
Even for you

1.5% to 3% is a doubling (100% increase). It's not 1.5%, but 1.5 percentage points. It's a very normal use of percentages
That's literally what it means, though. Going from 1.5% to 3% is damned impressive (though I'm not quite sure what exactly the other commenter is referring to, it took about 2 years to get there).
