Unfortunately until gaming companies see their base users move to Linux I doubt any changes will happen. But this could be a very good step in that direction if YouTubers start promoting Linux is the way to go for games and web browsers. Some people don't use anything else.
Not just gaming companies, but pretty much all companies. Fuck all works on Linux, unless you're into dev/IT.
Lol, sheeeh, the ratio!! I’m a (sadly) Windows-focused sysadmin in higher education and I agree with this, Linux is amazing for servers but normal business users can’t do shit with it : (
This was definitely true ten years ago! I'm sure you'll catch up to the modern linux experience soon though.
2025 will definitely be the year of the Linux desktop :)
The year of the linux desktop was when AMD open sourced their drivers around 5 years ago and Valve partnered with codeweavers to drop Proton. Its only been uphill from there.
Normal business users are fine if the Company hasn't deep-throated Microsoft. Our Company does all the business work with no windows machine in the whole company.
Being locked-in on Microsoft Office is a thing and not the fault of linux
