minus-squareTropicalDingdong@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up26arrow-down1·10 months ago What if its exponential growth? Then we should expect that in ~35 years, 200% of users will be using desktop linux.

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.

Linux on the main and second computers‽ Wow!
Running a linux vm on linux
yo dawg…
