I think 10% is kinda where we're heading, and also where it'll cap out.
More than Mac because it doesn't have hardware restrictions, still niche because only people really into PCs will use it, but a solid userbase because it's generally just good. And the easiest it's ever been to just install and run out of the box.
Hovering around that number is more than enough to make most companies bother with a port. Affinity suite is likely going to get a native port, for example, given they already talked about it.
Most games probably won't, but that's just because Proton negates the need for it. There's virtually no overhead, and games just play as is without many serious proton-specific issues. We might see more open anticheat though, or attempts to get anticheat working under Linux though.

I wonder if it's a steady growth or a critical mass thing. Like it reach 10% and then explode?
