100%. The enshittification is accelerating. Which is leading people to Linux hopefully

Have a Windows for gaming, going to switch to Linux once I can get a good deal on an external hard drive to back it up. Can confirm I'm making the switch because of the enshittification.

I'm expecting that Steam on Linux is going to be what drives it.

The Steam Deck can be used as a Linux computer and almost a turnkey way for a manufacturer to build a Steam computer without Windows.

Yeah, their momentum is no joke. This may accelerate the shift towards Linux somewhat.

Kind of the same story for the Fediverse.
