I think it’s Proton plus how un-userfriendly Windows has become, I know atleast 2 people who switched on their desktop because they could avoid Windows 11 while still playing their steam library, And handful a more who are looking into doing the same when Win10 goes EOL.
For everyday browser workflows I’m not sure why anyone would use anything else. Microsoft literally only keeps windows relevant by making sure pptx will never be standards compliant. Other than gaming, that’s literally the only thing forcing me to use windows or macOS these days. Company requirements to have native PowerPoint.
I think mostly thanks to Steam Deck. I have one, and it is probably one of the best gaming device I ever bought.

I am a Linux Student User, they gove me a presentation to do, and I simply used the PowerPoint Online Tool.
Of course, it might lack some features, but for an assignment every once and a while, was perfectly fine.
For the rest I always use Libre Office to complete my assignments, and convert the file to PDF afterward.
Only thing preventing me from switching is the fact games with anti-cheat are pretty much fucked on Linux unfortunately
The only game I wasn’t able to play while trying Linux was Rust.
Most EasyAntiCheat games seem to work if the dev gives a shit and I was able to play Battlefield 4 and 1 with Punkbuster fine.
I only play old low CPU/GPU demanding games :-)
This only counts web users, so probably actually underrepresented deck users (cause who’s browsing the web on their deck)
Also doesn’t count Firefox users
Isn’t that the main browser for like, most Linux users?
