    There’s apparently a chunk of gamers who can’t leave Windows because of GamePass. However, I don’t know whether it’s a significant portion.

      34 million people are on all Xbox game pass versions. How much of that is on PC game pass, I have no idea.

      I am more thinking of the Valorant, League, Call of Duty, Fortnite, etc… players. Which are a majority of pc gamers.

        There are different clusters of users who don’t/can’t leave Windows.

        • Don’t want to learn another OS at all (They are content with the Windows experience)
        • Gamepass users. They enjoy the Netflix model of getting free games
        • Multiplayer (with anti-cheat) gamers
        • Don’t want to leave the Adobe suite/
        • Uses programs which don’t have Linux equivalent

        The Linux community has to understand that some of these groups cannot be moved to Linux no matter how much you improve the Linux experience.
