I find it hard to understand why someone would take the time and effort to write something like this. I can assure you 'linux' works just fine on the desktop (something I have done for a couple decades), and while there is some truth to the security and funding challenges, I find taking the article seriously difficult given the current alternatives. Both Microsoft and Apple are openly trying to force you into their vision of computing, which is pedicated on their control and profit. I have machines that run Windows and MacOS, but those both get worse every year, while Debian (and other distros) get slightly better. I can run many AAA games on Proton, have access to the best development tools available, and am granted choice everywhere. I can't even log in with a local only account on the latest version of Windows, and MacOS makes it harder and harder to install my own software (unless I pay them a tax, via a yearly dev account payment. Linux is closer to the way forward, we just aren't there yet.
