      It’s not the PC games keeping people so much. Proton solved a lot of that problem. It’s inertia.

      Most people don’t care about things. They just don’t. Their brains just don’t have the juice.

      I agree. But I think more to the other side of it. I worry that a vast influx, who don’t care about privacy and computing freedom, would make for huge market pressure to lock down Linux. Same way we see Windows, IOS, Android locked.

      Game co’s, big tech, and others will demand it, if the masses flee to Linux. Today, most Linux users go nah, we want freedom more than your AAA game. If that changes, we could lose the very culture that resists locked down corporate controlled computing.
