Speaking for myself — no.
I had reasons for switching to using my dual boot desktop for Linux 95% of the time. Windows 11 became too annoying and bloated for me to want to deal with, and I fou no d Proton could adequately run the games I play (including some old or foreign ones Windows struggles with).
I continue to use my Xbox because it’s unladen with Windows’ recent bullshit, and as a limited machine, it gives me less security concerns about trying games with connections to Russia, China, and Israel.
An Xbox running full Windows is one I would wecome existing but would never buy. I’d just be thankful all their games were PC compatible and use my Linux PC and streaming devices running Steam Link or Moonlight or even xCloud.

Yeah I have to admit it’s tempting, but lately I want to distance myself from the Microsoft bullshit as fast as possible. Linux pc will be the best option but I’m scared to make the jump :s

If you don’t want to play mainstream multiplayer games, it should be pretty painless for you! Obviously we don’t know yet what Valve will reveal, but if they announce a new “Steam Machine” that is basically a Steam Deck in desktop form, it should be pretty smooth! I hear there are some games that require some Linux finagling, but everything has guides online.
