Getting off platforms is usually quite hard with most trying to be as sticky as possible. The common reason why people tend to stick to Windows is games, even if the situation has gotten better.

Personally I have come to the conclusion that the best solution is virtual machines with a linux base system. Put every game that is sticky to windows into its own little container and just have hardware passed through. That way every form of sticky platform only exist in a small pocket of virtual space. The tricky part is getting all this working as smoothly as if it was just one system that just happen to have really good sandboxing for untrustworthy platforms.
