It would help all of their competitors. A non zero number of people would move from windows to each of the others.
Whether or not the number moving away from windows and on to each of the others is significant or not is a different matter.
The biggest thing helping Linux right now is Valve's work improving the gaming experience, IMO.
Even the rumor of this makes Valve’s focus on Linux seem that much smarter.
I've never used Linux but if Microsoft goes subscription I'm out and I'll be learning Linux.
NGL PopOs is easy and the works with steam/most things easily.
I really hope Windows doesn't go subscription based because of the proliferation of ads.
I've been meaning to install Linux on my primary gaming PC but haven't yet due to laziness. This would 100% get me to pull the trigger if/when I ever had to upgrade/reinstall.
