*Paying* users, yes. How “active” is “active”? Remember that, if you stop
paying, you lose control of your own work.

So I rephrase my claim slightly: “Adobe is an irrelevance to 98% of
Windows users”.

And there are good, in particular less restrictive, open source
alternatives to all of Adobe’s main products, no matter what their
marketing department tells you.

23M new Linux users would be a significant increase to the Linux
installed base of 17 (I didn't forget the M).

The number of copies of Linux in active daily use is far greater than
that.
