You have to get the users and the devs running all their favorite games / apps on Linux seamlessly, even those games which are out of development. Once that happens then the users won’t care about the ‘how’ for the most part, and the devs who do care about the ‘how’ will begin making things in a way that does not require the Microsoft tax.
Yes, that’s valid, but I think it’s very much so short term thinking.
eventually if enough windows things are supported on linux, the question will become why use windows?
once everything works out of the box, laptop manufacturers will say “why are we paying microsoft this licensing fee”
there would have been no other way to win the war, this gives us a chance in the very long term.
eventually publishers may say “why do we support windows?”
the next pillar that I think will fall in our favor is anticheat, once that goes down the sky is the limit for our longterm prospects
I agree with this totally.
