Huh... I thought:

Installing Linux is sort of the equivalent of moving to Canada when one doesn’t like US political trends.

Nope, we’ve got to fight for the freedoms we have today, where we have them today

In 2018 windows 10 was still going to be viable for years to come and windows 11 didn't exist and valve hadn't made proton awesome with Linux and less than 2% of gamers used Linux.

By the end of 2027, not supporting Linux will actually cost you them a noticeable amount of money.

Proton definitely was awesome with Linux. In '18 my gaming rig was fully converted to Linux for more than a year and the only problems I had was Easy Anti-Cheat (Epic owned) and any Epic games. The rest worked smoothly.
