Sure, if that works for you. Given OP's question though, it's unlikely that's what they're looking for and you're just pushing your own opinion instead of trying to help them.
I main Linux. I've been using it for over 2 decades. I'm speaking from personal experience when I say that if you think Linux was mainstream ready prior to the last few years, you have no idea what the average pc user is incapable of.
Most people don't really use windowns because they like it but because of the third parties applications that only run on windows
Most techies, maybe. MAYBE. Linux has not been anywhere near user friendly enough over the past 2 decades to be remotely usable by normal people. Not a chance.
And yet, with Proton they're one of the biggest contributors to Linux adoption in the past several years. They're allowing millions of users to cut the last string that was binding them to Windows
Given that they'd have locked in the supply at least half a year ago, though, it would be funny (though unrealistic) to find out they contributed to the price hike 😂
folks like you who think they're a serious competitor
Yeah that's exactly what my bashing of their pathetic excuse at a storefront was implying.
tens of billions of dollars, like uber did
You're comparing the cost of building a simple software platform (and face it, Steam isn't THAT complicated to replicate from a technical perspective) to a company hiring tens of millions of people worldwide for billions of man hours and hardware depreciation. Your estimates are so unrealistic it's hilarious.
