Chrome OS saw a good raise too. OS X(Mac) saw a decrease.

Just an FYI that at this rate it's only going to take another 115 years before Linux has 100% market share.

    What if S-curve instead of linear rate?

    You mean Linux isn't going to have 200% market share one day? Shit, I'm starting to think my calculations may have not been totally serious.

    This is the same logic that a right wing ex-president of my country used to criticize the current leftist president while talking about the COVID-19 vaccination campaign.

    That's for August. And the growth is exponential, not linear.

    To a point. Let's be honest it's going to be more like an S-curve since you can't go past 100% market share, and some people will refuse to switch.

    And people not wanting to switch is fine imo. Having competition will likely help all OS's get better over time
