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.

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)
