Having reflected on the issue a bit more, I would like to follow up my earlier comment. Windows (and other proprietary OSes) have one thing which Gnu Linux does not: inertia. It is not an economics or marketing issue so much as it is a social issue. The public simply is not taught general purpose computing.
I suspect that one of the only ways we can begin to tackle this would be by ending "educational partnerships" in which schools teach dependency on proprietary software as a natural way to use computers.

I would love to see PC gamers adopt free operating systems as the "default" platform as much as anybody else here, but only if that does not mean doing so at the expense of quality of it's users.

Quoting: Liam DaweMarketing and more vendors having Linux installed on their systems. Currently, the Linux desktop has very little good marketing.Being largely non-commercial, Linux desktop will unlikely ever have that kind of marketing. And I do not see that as a bad thing. The nature of it enforces a soft requirement that users have the wherewithal to be able to install and maintain their own systems. It keeps the Linux space filled with a healthy proportion of above-average-computer-literacy individuals.

Quoting: mylkasweeny should give them the epic store source code, so they can make a linux version of it within lutrisIf only there were some way to ensure people other than the author can have access to a program's source...
Stadia looks to be very limited at launch and not just the amount of games

You absolutely need an Android or iOS mobile device for Stadia, even if you're going to use a PC.

Another Freudian trick extinguished, which make developers focus more on building a treadmill than on making an actual game. I think I can hear the world's smallest violin.

I will derive great joy from watching how this unfolds from a safe distance.

Intel giving hints at a possible Intel Xe dedicated GPU release in June 2020

Quoting: razing32A bit of context please ?You cannot use your current GPU without loading a proprietary blob firmware which uses encryption to make sure that the GPU ultimately obeys somebody else that isn't you. Part of this (mis)functionality is required for other "protection" schemes such as HDCP. Who would pressure for such (mis)functionality to be integrated into hardware and firmware?

Quoting: KithopHonestly, I can't wait for "x86" (or the weird bastardization of what's left of it as a mess of decoder logic taking up wayyy too much space in modern CPUs) to die and be superceded by a much more open RISC-V implementation anyhow. One day. ;)Normies are going to ensure that this remains forever a pipe dream.

If Intel plan on getting into the consumer dGPU space, they very likely will be strong armed by Hollywood and friends to implement a "secure content path" all for "the benefit of the users". Get ready for more firmware or hardware level DRM.
