"So? Why is that a reason not to care? Games are one of the big reasons Microsoft is so dominant in the PC market. And that dominance is what allows them to do all those shenanigans in Win11 with impunity. So any news that could help break that dominance is news one should care about."

Linux enabling people to run Windows games on Linux only strengthens Windows.

* It discourages native Linux builds of games
* It's not legal to be playing those games on something other than Windows, they were built, licensed, and supported for Windows.
* It brings a ton of not ready users to Linux who then flood forums and reddit for problems that are NOT Linux issues, but are instead Proton and WINE related issues.
* It brings users who don't give a damn about Linux and the community, all they care about is can they play their specific games.

Proton and WINE have become a curse.

I'd really love to see similar studies elsewhere, because my first inclination is that this would be just a United States phenomenon. Poor education, significant lead exposure, along with other heavy metals, topped off with a federal government that has consistently gas lit the public on darn near every issue for it's entire history; simply leads to a large number of very stupid people.
