Weeeeell, as someone who moved from windows to Mint a few weeks back, Steam and proton have had a big hand in that, so I wouldn't say it's a good example of "doing nothing".

Edit: granted, Microsoft constantly shooting their own feet doesn't help, but Steam broke the cage by providing what was missing.

Not to downplay what Valve and all of the countless Linux contributers are doing and have accomplished, but I wouldn't be on Linux if Windows hasn't gone to shit.

I was basically a 30 year long Windows fanboy. It got so bad that it drove me away. And now I'm a Linux fanboy.
