It makes running Linux as a primary OS irrelevant.
Linux on the desktop has always been a joke, but it's even more irrelevant now. You run Windows as your main development OS and when you're ready to deploy your app to Linux, you launch WSL or run a CI/CD pipeline.
But there is now zero reason to ever run Linux as the main OS on your desktop.

Just because you're happy with Microsoft's practices doesn't mean free distros are all "a joke" or "irrelevant". Many people use GNU/Linux as a daily driver and we're more than satisfied. Personal opinion: i just don't understand the appeal for Windows. MacOS at least has some design/UX guidelines which you can like or dislike but they're consistent about... Windows has just so many anti-patterns i don't have enough fingers to count. The only times i ever needed windows was because of phone-related crapware, and even then Wine was more than enough. Why would i need Windows at all?
