Basically, Windows 11 is making people unhappy with how it affects older computers and increased spyware. As such, many are considering the jump to Linux. Some YouTubers are even starting to promote Linux such as that Linus Tech Tips guy. Additionally, Valve's new 'Steam Deck' also runs a fork of Linux called Steam OS which might push developers to support Linux natively. With all of this in mind, I've started to see some threads pop up on 4Chan that are seriously considering the possibility of Microsoft's monopoly on PC gaming being overthrown. If gamers begin switching to Linux like this, it might domino into the general public jumping ship as well. If this ends up being the case, Microsoft is in for a rocky ride.

You can practice with Linux with a dual boot setup, a live disc or USB, or an old machine. You might want to swap quite quickly and practice might make things easier.
I swapped over slowly starting in '05. Within a year or so, I didn't use Windows unless I had a program or hardware that would not work on Linux. I have kept a couple of ancient PCs which run windows just in case I ever need them, but I considering recycling them.
