On the one hand, who cares?

On the other, maybe it motivates Valve and Steam to be even better?

Competition, even if we hate the competition, is good. This absolutely will keep Valve on their toes, investing in Proton, making BigPicture a true reality. One big thing I see happening soon is other media apps. Microsoft will undoubtedly have the Netflix/Disney/Paramount/Whatever apps that you'll be able to launch, it'd be nice to get those on Steam/Linux as well. That's the last thing really holding back my machine in terms of "wife approval"
