Wine + proton/valve has made it very easy to run most anything windows related nowadays. I would expect this to help make Linux gain market share.

I'm still on the fence if gaining market share is a good thing ultimately, but I'm hoping to see it play out.

I feel like MS could avoid everyone’s gripes by simply not charging for their security update program. 7 to 13+ years is going to more than cover when most people would’ve upgraded anyway.
