      I agree, but it buries the lede of the adoption only increasing by 1.5%. They could have written “doubled from X to Y” to at least prepare our expectations that it might not be a high increment

        Adoption was at 1.5% -> therefore adoption increased by 100% relative to its former value. That’s totally reasonable. Saying it increased by 1.5% is what buries the lead, because you have no idea if that’s a major or minor increase. Doubling is major.

        It’s huge. Imagine if news said that 1,5% of people had recently switched to bycicles for their commute. What would your reaction be?

        First of all, nobody expects Linux to have much of market share in gaming anyway, so I don’t know who would think that a 100% increase is somehow not “preparing expectations”. Unless someone doesn’t undersand how percentages work, I guess.

        Secondly, I specified what kind of increase it was.
