I think in the long term, people will use Win32 applications to target the Linux platform. While the kernel takes compatibility seriously, the GNU OS around it has absolutely zero binary compatibility in mind, and it's harder to get old Linux games running than old Windows games on Linux. With MS increasing its focus on UWP, Win32/Win64 might actually have a longer life on Linux than on the eternal Windows 10 platform.
