Yeah it's the toe of a sigmoid curve. We're entering the early adopter phase roughly.

Funny to read this when I've been using Linux for over 20 years

I've been using it for about 8 years myself, but I think it actually is this time? It's got a pretty obvious exponential increase shape, it's just spread out.

We will be 80 and still looking at the charts going "It is the year of the Linux desktop yet?"

The year of the Linux desktop is already there for me. There is more and on a better foundation than I ever thought would happen when I started using it. Personally, I miss nothing.

Well aware that this isn't the case for everyone.
