If this happens, will it be a mass exodus to Linux/Mac? Or will people just live with it? The fact that the Steam Deck has shown great promise in playing games on Linux has made me reconsider Windows yet again.

    I’d dare to say people don’t choose Windows, it is forced on them by having it preinstalled and that seals the deal for most. Your average Joe Sixpack would likely not even notice they are using Linux, since most just browse the internet and the major browsers are the same for both.

      Tbh you can also be forced to windows by software. Like yes a lot of stuff works on wine and Proton but that doesn’t mean it runs good. For VR i didn’t hear much good especially if you don’t use a native SteamVR headset. Then there is lots of games with anticheat not working and whatever… So if you fall into any of these categories you’re kinda SOL.
