  They are helping, yes, but windows 11 is a driving force like I’ve never seen.

    It’s only really viable though, because of Steam and Proton

        No, but those two things have been such a massive driver for Linux adoption, that it isn’t really relevant.

  Steam took the cap off the toothpaste tube.
  Microsoft is giving the toothpaste tube a good squeeze!

    So many people just immediately gave into ChatGPT, I doubt Microsoft’s actions will do that much damage. Besides, for anyone not using it it’s pretty easy to ignore. I don’t do a single thing on my PC that requires much beyond opening a game or Firefox so I don’t feel the pressure to leave at the moment.

      Ironically, one of the things that I’m moving to Linux for is the gaming performance boost that I’ve heard some people report due to the lack of Windows bloat and telemetry running in the background all the time.

      Bazzite, the Linux version I keep seeing people recommend for gaming and people new to Linux has had a big boost in users in the past 6 weeks or so, apparently, that people are completely attributing to Microsoft.
