This is an outdated take - it's functionally untrue in most business settings.
Gaming on the other hand, is very much still mostly Windows only.
I game a lot, I haven't rebooted into Windows in well over a year. Luckily I don't really play games that require stupid DRM/anticheat (although, that is being worked on)
I would probably start playing Apex Legends again if they allowed EAC Linux support. Epic added support, the devs just need to support it -.-
what?
This is all just my understanding from reading various discussions, so may be incorrect in whole or in part.
An experimental patchset for Wine/Proton. Might help with some newer titles, and Steam gives you the choice per-game to target a specific Proton version.
Most business settings have some absolutely critical custom software written in Winforms or something that can't be ported, plus an entire machine of IT personnel and software tools that would be just as costly to convert.
With office 365 and intune you can essentially have the same control as traditional AD joined machines actually Intune probably has better management than GPO these days.
The only thing that is still missing for corpo is Intune for Linux and even that isn’t 100% required as long as there will be Intune for Edge on Linux, once you can manage the browser the majority of the controls the organization needs are handled.
I haven’t seen any of these in almost a decade. there are specialized use cases that require some specialized software, but for most business operations the software works cross platform or runs from web apps. I used to keep a parallels instance to run MS SQL server for some tasks but we have even transitioned that to a less propriety setup.
