I've been running Linux on my desktop for more than 30 years, so I've switched for a while. And while I'd certainly like to see it become more commonplace, I'm not sure a few decimal points are really going to change anything. It's nice that it's making progress, of course, but all in all, it's rather insignificant.
While it's under 10, or more likely 15%, nobody will care about it.
Developers already care about it. Not all of them, not all the way, but many are aiming for steam deck compatibility via proton. It's not perfect, and some devs are vehemently holding out, but it's progress!
That doesn't seem to take a lot of effort. It's still a windows binary. And it's unfortunately simpler than figuring out if the user runs X or not.
