MODERATORS
Then we should expect that in ~35 years, 200% of users will be using desktop linux.
The math chec.....wait, no. That math doesn't check out at all.
It is an older math, Sir. I was going to let them pass.
Naw, it just means everyone will have two Linux computers!
I mean, I currently have 3 linux computers.. sooooo...
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?
Linux on the main and second computers‽ Wow!
Running a linux vm on linux
yo dawg..
