I do agree that every OS has bugs and demerits, but is it wrong to address the issues that Linux has? I am also contributing to open source projects, I don't just post. You really should try 2d game development in Unity within a Linux based OS, it's a lot hard compared to Windows. Now, don't assume me a windows fan, I am fan of neither. It's five years since I call myself a Debian user.

I'm not trying to say it doesn't have issues but you don't address what those issues are. You make a couple of bold statements and you don't provide any context let alone any facts or even really your opinion about why you feel the way the article is posted it feels like clickbait and that makes it a detriment to the community but not just to the Linux community people who are on Windows looking into the Linux subsystem for Windows could run across your article and be turned away from that too because you don't explain in your article what you're talking about. I am saying that you're not addressing the issues that Linux has in your article not that you were wrong to write it and say that it wasn't for everyone but I am saying that you didn't do what you're claiming to have done with the article. Also you're making an assumption that I have not done game development or done it on Linux. They're a very broad range of users and not every user needs to do development on Linux not every user needs to do more than browse the web and check their email and Facebook and if that's all the user needs there are distros perfectly suited for them. But you don't discuss that you find Linux difficult because you are doing something difficult with it.
