You're massively overestimating how many people care about gaming on their computers.

Yeah exactly. The desktop stats are the way they are because of business machines mostly needing to run Ms Office. And no, open office etc is no substitute for excel. Yes maybe the most basic of spreadsheets but there are some monster sheets out there in most businesses which use excel only functionality.

I'd argue that those "monster sheets" should not be on excel, but they will figure that out once they have transitioned to the cloud and then their important stuff isn't accessible one day.

Yeah. I remember checking out scripting in Libre and when you put it next to Excel's "just press here and write code", it's kind of bizzare.

We're all massively overestimating how many people care about their computers.

Sigh ._.

You're right but it would still be a significant enough jump that it would be noticeable, nothing crazy like doubling or tripling numbers but definitely noticeable. Out of my 4 close friends 3 of us would be on Linux if it wasn't for games.
