The style of this article is all wrong. It takes a tremendously long time for the author to get to the point. There is an irrelevant history lesson of an experience jumping through distros to start with. Then the main argument of the piece is unclear. It begins with (probably justified) moaning about device drivers, but is followed up with a declaration that Linux's problems are caused by recent UI changes. The author then laments that the update cycle is too fast. Why hasn't someone told this person to stick to long term stable distros, such as RHEL or Ubuntu LTS?
