if they keep it up at this rate Linux will be the only OS people use by the year 3090 (16.66 years per percentage point)
I joined the community before the 1% mark. It has been such a nice journey.
Personally I have to thank Steam for their commitment for gaming on Linux. Without I would not have been able to make the switch fully.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
