I really hope Gabe doesn't die right now because we are SO CLOSE to having a mainstream windows competitor.
The users-&-software feedback loop snowball is about to go down a mountain and I am so here for it.

Agreed.

Hopefully other platforms start caring about Linux because I really don't want Gabe to be replaced by a "profit all the things" CEO and for Linux gaming to become a locked-down platform.

Like with their black market loot crate casinos?

A "profit all the things" CEO would be running the casino themselves. IE: Many of the big mobile games. Hell, I don't play many modern triple-A titles, but it sounds like they've largely gone that route too.
