If it is controversial to say that regardless of kernel, successful consumer operating systems require billions of dollars of investment, I’ll own that. But that’s being dismissive.

Again, I think there are some really valid reasons to move to Linux. I don’t think this article was a good example.

    I think your responses to it being a very flannely, clickbaity article without much substance are fair, but I find that responding to the article by making sweeping statements isn't refuting the material of the article - it's making an appeal to authority where the authority is just the fact that Linux is bad on desktop. >Again, I think there are some really valid reasons to move to Linux.
