The situation in linux is coincidentally better by these games not being native linux builds, which lets users choose older WINE compatibility environments without impacting the rest of the system, I suppose.

    I'm also saying that within a couple decades, I don't think windows will exist. I say this as a user of Dos and Windows for almost 40 years

    Honestly, with the current state of affairs, discrete hardware might not exist at all. Whether it's console or PC.

    We can make all the assumptions we like about the current trend, but just because we don't like something doesn't mean that an alternative we'd prefer would replace it once it fails.

    I don't disagree that Windows as we know it will cease to exist in the near future... but that doesn't mean things that are much worse aren't going to replace it instead of a linux utopia.
