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

    Adoption was at 1.5% -> therefore adoption increased by 100% relative to its former value. That’s totally reasonable. Saying it increased by 1.5% is what buries the lead, because you have no idea if that’s a major or minor increase. Doubling is major.

    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.
