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.

Why would Apple do that? One of their biggest pros is that they have powerful machines, that are capable of more than an off the shelf PC Laptop. They even produce their own chips now. Why would anybody pay 4000+ $ for something that is essentially a thin client that just connects a display and some peripherals to a cloud?

In addition it would be very hard to convince their tech savvy consumers that a move to a cloud hosted OS would benefit privacy, which has become a bigger selling point over the recent years for them?
