Linux use on steam has also passed mac use. The three most popular mac versions are still used by more than the 3 most popular linux versions, but the total for macs is under 3%.

And for me personally, I didn't even have to give anything of value up to make the switch. I kept my old windows machine in a running condition as a backup, but I think I'm about ready to start retiring that machine entirely, at least as a windows machine.
