Games are minor issue now, to the point I buy new games on Steam without even checking compatibility, because they just work (or have the same problems Windows does anyway).

Windows' strong point is basically some large software vendors just don't support Linux (Photoshop, finance software, etc). And of course corporate. For the day to day 'casual' user Linux is every bit as good. But, much as we all had to 'learn' Windows when we started using it, so there will be at least a little learning required for Linux.

Exactly. As someone else pointed out some AAA titles don't work, and stuff with strong DRM/anti-cheat won't, but that's a minority of stuff at this point which will only dwindle further.

Even then... with Vavle's efforts, a lot of DRM just takes a software update (mostly) to work in Proton/Linux. Not that a lot of the older AAA titles have been updated (or even recent ones). But it's consistently getting better.

Will have to see which direction things head over time.
