Here’s what i gleaned from this article:
(1) Ken Thompson uses Linux in a Raspberry Pi.
(2) Linus Torvalds uses Linux on a laptop he likes better than a Mac with a bad screen.
(3) the author likes using linux on ARM chips.
(4) Ashashi Linux runs on Apple’s ARM computers. The author uses it.
Here’s what the author might add:
(1) What did Ken Thompson find off putting about Mac OS?
(2) What was wrong with Linus’ screen that couldn’t be fixed and how did switching to Linux fix it?
(3) What benefits of running Linux vs Mac Os inspired the author to write this article?
Those three points, or similar, might make this article more interesting and valuable.

- dm319 4y agoIt's suspicious.
- crazygringo 4y agoI doubt it. I was wondering the exact same things because this article was actually pretty information-free. And I'm not a machine, at least.

- DuckFeathers 4y ago> What was wrong with Linus’ screen that couldn’t be fixed and how did switching to Linux fix it? I remember this incident so I can elaborate. While Apple is known for "consumer premium" hardware, they have not necessarily been leading on anything. They source premium hardware from a few generations ago and mass produce it and market it at "consumer premium" prices. When Linus was trying to find a replacement for his older Macbook, he was unimpressed by the screen resolution and quality went with a Dell XPS 15 Developer Edition instead. This was around 2015.
