If this happens, will it be a mass exodus to Linux/Mac? Or will people just live with it? The fact that the Steam Deck has shown great promise in playing games on Linux has made me reconsider Windows yet again.

This sounds horrible…
I’ve love to give Linux a real hard try, but my employer is every much a O365 org… Not fully sure what sort of issues that would give me.
Not many issues to be honest. You could even install Microsoft Edge on Linux and use that to access O365.
Anything but edge!
Honestly, besides my gaming PC at home… Almost all of the application I run are web-based or have an alternative. The one downside I can think of is that most of the documents I do access and update are housed within OneDrive.
I mean, you don’t have to use Edge, any modern browser should work. I use Brave mainly, and have not had any issues with O365. You can use OneDrive on the browser, but even if you want it synchronized to your desktop there’s a few ways to sync it to Linux:
https://github.com/jstaf/onedriver#readme - FOSS with GUI
https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive#readme - FOSS CLI (but there is a GUI for it, and a System Tray icon if desired)
https://www.insynchq.com/linux - Proprietary commercial product
Thanks for sharing.
I used Brave for a few years and just recently switched to Firefox . No real reason.
Do they allow you to use the web browser version?
You could always try booting up a Live CD and testing it out. It’ll run a bit slower than a native install, but it’s a super-easy way to check things out.
I should just make a test partition at home, or at least a virtual box/etc.
