    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

      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?

      1.5% to 3% is a doubling (100% increase). It’s not 1.5%, but 1.5 percentage points. It’s a very normal use of percentages

      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.
