    At this rate by 2038 windows will be at 50% market share and by 2069 it’ll be at 0%.

    Mac is at ~20% and quite well known already, so maybe 20% is the market share where even commoners (non-tech folk) will know of linux and use it. Still have a ways to go folks…

    How that was calculated
    1. Export the data into CSV from the historical chart
    2. Change the date to an index starting at 0
    3. copy into https://www.graphpad.com/quickcalcs/linear2/
    4. Copy formula into desmos (replace “X” with “x”)
    5. Add x*0 + 50 and x*0 to find the points where 50% and 0% are reached
    6. Use datetime calculator and just add the number of months to 2009-01-01

    There’s probably a better tool, but a 5 minute search didn’t find one for me 🤷
