Nowhere in the linked post does he talk negatively about those efforts, more about hardware manufacturers not doing their job. But he's objectively right about the average Linux experience on a random laptop. I have never owned a hardware configuration where everything worked with Linux except for the Steam Deck. My best experience was on a Thinkpad from 2016 and on that one I still had to adapt and compile my own wifi driver.
