    What if its exponential growth?

    Then we should expect that in ~35 years, 200% of users will be using desktop linux.

    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.
