A lot of people, especially game/app devs don't know how big of a deal linux desktop is, and I know i'm stating the obvious but Hear me out.
Linux is great not just for consumers, but for companies and governments too. It creates real competition instead of everyone being locked into one vendor’s ecosystem. No forced upgrades, no random license changes, no “pay more or lose support” nonsense. You actually own your stack.
just imagine the power of being able to optimize for your own apps and games (bcuz most linux distros are community based), even big companies can optimize for their games. or govs making changes to distros or making their own distros to perfectly suit their needs, instead of relying on Microsoft or other big companies, saving millions of dollars in the process.
and if a linux distro is screwed, companies can always jump shift to other distros, i mean Microsoft has pretty much screwed Windows 11 but people and companies will still rely on it because its just that popular. Hardware companies ship their computers with windows because its what most software is made for, software companies develop for windows because its where most consumers are, and consumers buy windows computers because its what most computers come with, if we break this stupid cycle everyone will benefit.
its a power that we aren't taking advantage of, its a matter of time until RISC-V CPUs come on top, probably in a few decades, it doesn't make sense to not embrace open source in the OS department too.
