I'm just waiting for double digits so that the FiveM devs can't ignore Linux gamers anymore and actually allow for GTAV online playability. I mean, you can run a server on Linux but can't play? Dumb.
Despite not being a gamer myself, Gamers are or should be a hotly contested demographic for Linux to chase and capture. And thanks to Steam, there is a shift happening as gaming gets easier.
Agreed. Gamers are probably one of the demographics which are most likely to care about the enshittification of their operating system, while most other users who only want Microsoft Office and their Web browser could not care less. The former can be swayed to endure a small amount of temporary inconvenience to switch while the latter will not.
