Add to that all the bullshit they have been pushing on their customers lately:
* OS level adds
* invasive AI integration
* dropping support for 40% of their installed base (Windows 10)
* forcing useless DRM/trusted computing hardware - TPM - as a requirement to install the new and objectively worse Windows version version, with even more spying and worse performance (Windows 11)
With that I think their prospects are bleak & I have no idea who would install anything else than Steam OS or Bazzite in the future with this kind of Microsoft behavior.
