    “the norm” part isn’t accurate, but if it could match gaming performance/compatibility I know a lot of people who would switch. Myself included.

    And seeing as how 2% isn’t a very large percentage (but I think the number of gamers who are sick of windows, or have privacy concerns is quite large), I think it would be a notable increase in the userbase.

    Even an increase to 2.5% market share is a 25% boost. A lot of products would be very excited indeed to boost their market share by 25%.

    It might even light a tiny, tiny fire under Microsoft that they can’t just keep being shit with no consequences.

    Competition (sometimes) breeds innovation.
