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.

And how well do 3dsMax and Solidworks work? Cause Blender was the first modeling program I ever tried and couldn't stand the UI, so that's straight up not an option after 20 years of experience.

Depending on how long ago you tried blender the UI has improved significantly. As far as parametric CAD goes, supported options are still limited. For use in wine someone is working on making easy installers for fusion and solidworks that supposedly work but I just use a virtual machine.

Blender has come a LONG way in 20 years. I think it beats 3ds max in most categories these days.

For CAD I haven't tried solidworks, but I did get Fusion to run. (Also fwiw, Onshape is surprisingly good, and is browser based)
