If Valve just keeps supporting Proton, it will capture 95% of all the Windows users migrating to Linux.

Windows 10 support ends this year. Nobody wants to use 11, especially with its built-in mandatory spyware like Co-Pilot and Recall.

People said the same thing when XP came to its end of life support dropping. You overestimate how technical the average person is. Or how patient those that are technical are who just want their programs to work without hours of tinkering each time they install something

Started daily driving Linux last year and the ecosystem has significantly improved for the end user in the last years. And I'm using debian as an animal, with Mint stuff is even simpler, not to mention StramOS. Shit is finally good, no joke.
