I find those assumptions a bit non-relevant, as they mostly have to do with mozilla and chrome. Surely a browser is an important piece of software, but it's not the OS.

I know many users don't like wayland, but the proposed solution of jumping into Apple closed ecosystem doesn't sound good to me.

The stance by Qt and the reliance on Go are a couple of good points he makes.

As someone who's been trying to make Linux my home away from Windows, I totally agree with the author's "fears for the future", all of which threaten to destroy what attracted me to Linux in the first place.

  1. Stability - many 'distros' are approaching the Windows update-intrusiveness
  2. "Portability" and it's subset Runs on old, less-capable hardware
  3. Schizoid graphics behavior
