As a person who cares about the gaming ecosystem, I think it would be really healthy for Microsoft to not have full market dominance.
They’re busy making studio acquisitions which are gradually centralizing the market, which could become very problematic if they start taking anticompetitive approaches to distribution.
More people on Linux means more pressure for software availability on Linux, and if people can just move over relatively easily that prevents Microsoft from going full corpo-digital-prison-hellscape.
More people using free software means more resources going into them, maybe industry-wide adoption. Would it not be awesome to have ODP be the standard file format for a document (because enough people use Linux to make an open standard necessary)? Interoperability will be a big thing if enough people start using Linux.
I have people asking me to help them install linux all the time. I am glad, in theory, but sad, in the practicality of having to work for free on my spare time.
I’m not really concerned about getting more people to use Linux. Am I the only one?

Well, more people on Linux means more software support.
we already have all the free software, im not missing adobe bullshit or other proprietary crap.

I mean personally I’m not missing anything so I don’t see the benefits.
I care because by not using linux there is money going to microsoft or apple hands, which are not very friendly to user rights.
i used to care, now i dont give a flying fuck.
if people are too stupid to use a superior and free system, fuck em.
