I hate how hard they try to force you to use a Microsoft account with it. And yes, the hardware requirements are too stringent. Microsoft works hard at taking away agency from users and empowering the users' corporate bosses and data miners instead.
On top of all that, it's 2024, Microsoft...a lot of people are struggling to buy groceries or pay rent/mortgage. They don't want to be forced to buy a new PC.
As for "just use Linux" crowd....you know what? I agree! And some people will migrate. But it's going to be sort of like the reddit > Lemmy migration. Don't get overly excited about it.
We don't need everyone to migrate, just enough that companies and developers feel obligated to support Linux. We're slowly getting there. Valve throwing their weight behind Linux for gaming was a massive win for Linux. Another important factor is the rise of the mobile first generations and the fact that at its core Android is Linux based. It's not completely trivial to port an Android app to Linux but it's at least no worse than porting it to Windows.
Microsoft may still have a stranglehold on corporate desktops, but they've long since lost the battle for servers and their hold on the home desktop is slipping a little more each day. Losing a significant chunk of gamers to Linux would be a massive blow to MS because it has been one of the few really unassailable markets for them historically.
You are so optimistic
Nah, Linux still only accounts for about 2% of all users on Steam (active per month) so it has a long way to go still, but at least it's heading in the right direction. If you count only English speaking Steam users that number climbs to over 5%. If Linux can get to and reliably maintain 10% that's probably good enough to make it a first class target for even AAA releases, but it's not there yet. The fact that so many games run fine under Linux these days is almost entirely down to the effort Valve has sunk into Proton making it relatively easy for devs to check Steamdeck support off without needing to really put much work in at all.
