I'm sure all of the enterprise and commercial users will be switching to steamOS.
- Employees using a different OS at home en masse will cause pressure on companies to change. That will scare Microsoft.
  
  Your lips to tech jesus' ears.
Idk about "terrified" but they should realize it will affect their income. If the anti-cheat companies start making products that work on it, I’d imagine they could take a disastrous hit.
- Games with anti-cheat that doeo not work on Linux is basically the only thing stopping me from totally moving over.
  
  That and the issues I have with controlling my system, CPU and GPU fans.
  
  ^ This guy cares about only fans!
  
  Are you use cooler control?
  
  I suppose you are taking about a laptop ? Some laptops are known to have strange fan behaviors with Linux. I suppose the manufacturers are using a windows driver to control the fans, as opposed to controlling the fans with the Embedded Controller, which would work the same regardless of the OS.
- Just looking it up, Windows has shrunk to 12% of their revenue, and these are 2022 numbers.
