Like it or not, this is the easiest way to get Linux further into the mainstream. I've had Linux on my laptop for about a year or so and have been loving it, but I've still been wary about switching my gaming PC. I think the biggest issue with most people hesitant to switch is ease of use. From the outside Linux looks cryptic and kinda scary for most people. I mean you have to do research just to find out which distro to use and even then might not even find one you like on the first try. With Windows... You just install Windows and you can already do everything you need to do.
Honestly Linux market share doesn't matter much.
With that being said Linux can be used however you see fit as long as you aren't violating licensing
Unless your game bans you from playing because you're on Linux, then market share matters a ton
I want to move to Linux but the value proposition for game pass is too damn good, I haven't bought games the last 3 years because the last 5 games that I bought all got into game pass. It's like they have this one executive that has the same taste as me.
I'll stick with windows for gaming (sadly) until my financial situation improves ಥ‿ಥ
