That's nice. Hopefully it getting more notorious means that HW companies will support it better. But, at the same time, if this is just from the Steam Deck, then, kinda fugged

From a financial perspective, a 3% market share is so insignificant that companies might not even be aware of what the hell Linux is

Baby steps. Considering that Linux isn't installed by default on PCs you buy from BestBuy/Walmart, 3% is a good number.

Unless they came with Wine, and the apps the avg joe just work with wine, I don't think it'd be a good thing. Hell, could you stop the employees at the store from telling people to just install windows after buying the laptop or the avg joe just doing that?
