If this happens, will it be a mass exodus to Linux/Mac? Or will people just live with it? The fact that the Steam Deck has shown great promise in playing games on Linux has made me reconsider Windows yet again.

Actually, if you're interested, gaming on Linux is great nowadays.
Nvidia GPUs are not really well supported, but they work.
However, if you game using Intel integrated graphics or an AMD GPU, the performance is perfect.
On steam I have yet to encounter a game that does not run well using Proton.

I would love to use linux for everything I do on my computer but there are too many games I play that use anticheat that isn't supported sadly. The use of intrusive kernel level anticheat will hopefully be killed off soon -- but for now I have to keep a windows install so I can boot into it for those games.

Also VR I didn't hear much good about on Linux. Especially if you don't use native SteamVR Headsets. Also there is a game i do play which works with Linux fine itself but the video players do not.
