That's true, although he was right about the Linux counterparts. Reading this migration guide, at least to me, it seems that all Linux replacements for things like dtrace, ZFS, SMF, zones... are just subpar.

What does the name of an individual have to do with that of an island? Wayland: I think it's the name of some America place. Should afghans, syrians, viets, [put whatever country the US invaded] stick to X11 because of this?

They want you not to install Linux, but keep using Windows. That way, apart from using their OS, you may end up using the rest of Microsoft software: Edge, Office, Outlook, OneDrive, etc. That wouldn't happen if you used Ubuntu. What I
