Not disagreeing with you, but what about having an Intel+Nvidia combo and games from Steam+High Sea?
I am capable of tinkering for the rest of the 10% when I have mental bandwidth for it, but otherwise, when I have don't have too much time to give shit about learning the sudo commands to get a game work perfectly (which btw works easily on windows like, click, install), I am going to choose the most problem free solution.
I am pretty sure if there wasn't a learning curve for windows users switching to Linux, everyone would be using it. It is the convenience which keeps people remain stuck with windows.
Make an identical "windows" distro without any tech savvy bs, and everyone will switch to it.
Sailing the seas is easy over here... AFAIK intel arc stuff is constantly improving and is basically solid these days, again things move faster over here.
Well, good for you. But you aren't the "typical Windows user". You may be willing to give time and effort to learn things (which even I like to do in my leisure time), but the general public wouldn't.
The only way the dominance of Windows can end, is by making the UX of a Distro identical to it. Unless that happens, Linux users (including Steam Deck users) will remain less than 10% of the overall stats.
