Windows still owns gaming which is going to keep it relevant to the youth despite anything it does poorly for some time to come.

Just look how many front-page carousel blockbusters on Steam still only support Windows.

I game on macOS and things are slowly getting better, but macOS is still mostly relegated to Aspyr ports. I'd be reluctant to claim that Windows is dying to youngsters until the state of gaming radically changes.

Do you have Proton (Valve's supercharged Wine distro) on macOS? Here on Linux, Steam's game coverage has improved significantly because of Proton


Gaming is definitely the big use case for windows. Also, an ok os if you don’t want to pay through the nose for top end upgradeable hardware or run a Linux desktop or hackintosh.

Haven’t tried desktop Linux in 20 years, hopefully it’s gotten better. Back then it was common to have to seek out and compile your own drivers to get network, audio, printer type drivers working lol.
