is it not a given that windows would dominate the desktop market anymore?

Took long enough. People are so god damn stubborn.
Windows 11 is an annoying experience out of the box, yes; like Linux, you have to do some tweaking to get it functioning the way you like it (start with installing StartAllBack to fix the Start Menu + taskbar issues, and O&O Shut Up 10 to stop the ads and telemetry) but if you're big into HDR like me then there is no OS better than Win11 for a quality HDR experience that just works.
But if you're not into HDR, don't play games with kernel-level anticheat, and don't have expensive DJ equipment that is only compatible with Windows and MacOS, then there is no reason to continue using Windows. Linux is a much better option for you.
HDR actually works fairly well on Linux these days. Been using nobara for the better part of a year now and almost every game I’ve tried, that has HDR support, just worked out of the box.
like Linux, you have to do some tweaking
no you don't. most things literally work out of the box.
