The thing is, everybody should care about the Microsoft/Windows monopoly, monopolies are always bad for consumers and innovation. Do you think MS would pull half the shit they do if they were the underdog? 

This will always be a chicken and egg problem, people don't want to use Linux since a lot of software isn't compatible/made for Linux. Companies/developers don't want to put time in making Linux versions since there are to few users. The numbers Need to go up for things to happen. What Valve did is fantastic but if they didn't plan on releasing a steam deck this would not have happened.

Edit: changed Microsoft/Linux to Microsoft/Windows

Valve has been pushing for Linux since long before the Steam Deck, SteamOS is like a decade old now. It was originally used in their previous console, the Steam Machine. They went in that direction in the first place because Gaben is a Linux fan himself. So it's the other way around, the Deck likely wouldn't have happened if Valve wasn't interested in promoting Linux.
