      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.

        If you don’t think of the increase in speed of new users as continuing to increase exponentially.
