so the bottom line, i think the quantity (not percentage) of all the changes nets out to zero, so for simplicity’s sake let’s pretend there’s no chrome, mac, or other. since there are so many more windows users a 1.7% drop in windows is (for the sake of this example) the same as the 22.4% increase in linux users. when you convert away from percentages, you’ll see a quantity that represents the same number, but since you have to divide by the starting number of users and windows had so many more… am i making sense?
fuck, i’m high. am i even right? it’s been a few decades.
Yeah i think i get it… the total amount of users is 90 Windows and 10 Linux. At the next survey its 89 Windows and 11 Linux. So linux is up by 10% but Windows only down by 0.9% compared to the last value
