This is kind of an outdated argument and nearly a solved problem - the majority of Steam's library can be run near-effortlessly on Linux today. I'd expect a large portion of Windows PC gamers to be aware of that, too, at least in the US. I don't really know anyone who's tied to any Windows-specific apps that aren't games, either.
- an-unknown 2y agoGames are the easier part. There are a few examples of software which is only available for Windows and Mac or even Windows only, like professional audio software or various CAD tools. If you need one of those, you can't really avoid Windows / Mac and usually there is no proper replacement for such software that works on Linux. Of course you can have a dedicated Windows or Mac machine just for those programs, but that's still not ideal.
