On the gaming front since Steam released Proton the future is now uncertain for Microsoft hegemony. Linux can now run AAA titles on launch, with the only significant barrier that's left being kernel-level anti-cheats.

But with WINE's rapid development, cloud gaming becoming more popular (just yesterday for instance Xbox Cloud Gaming became available for Linux browsers) and VFIO becoming easier I don't expect this to be an issue still in the next few years.

I still doubting that regular consumers will go out of their way to buy Linux Ready Laptops/Gaming PCs (and no they’re not installing Linux on their computers) I think HN in general severely overestimates how willing to normal consumer is to use Linux over Windows and how much utility Windows has.
