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 crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

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.

Don't know how to poem

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
