This is a waste of an article it feels like somebody just posting something so that they can get a post count up. You offered no real opinion or advice or facts. There's no substance just a bold claim a link to a forum that doesn't even link to the beginning post on the thread that you're talking about and that's it and that claim that Linux has bugs. Every operating system and every application has bugs that's like saying you have to fill up the gas tank in your car when you use it. Yes there are things in Linux that are not perfectly easy that's not because the community doesn't want them to be or can't get them that way it's because manufacturers and development companies work on profit margins and currently the Linux community is it large enough to Garner the level of focus that the windows community has. At least not for the consumer desktop. But that doesn't mean that there aren't people out there and distributions out there pushing those boundaries. I'll be the first to admit that the marketing isn't where it could be and we're not pushing hard enough in places and we're not getting the message out as well as we could be but articles like this don't help you're not providing an alternative and you're not providing any useful feedback to the people developing these products. So I'm going to offer you a challenge you have this medium in front of you instead of writing a post like this where you just spout something random and fill a post account go out there and look do some research provide this is why this is difficult to me and others have found it difficult because of this provide the feedback so that it can get better or go out and say look not all Linux distributions are TurnKey for normal users but these alternatives unless the couple can be a close solution if all you need is and then list some of the things they do well. So that the market base can grow and we can start making everything work better.
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.
Why? People are suffering with it. I am trynna do some game dev things in my Linux device, did it in my friends windows device. and game development is really good on Windows compared to Linux. also, there are a lot of other this, like video editing, how is one supposed to make a cool looking game tailor without any good video editing software?
So.... You just wrote a post shilling how Linux should be for development only just cause the windows software Devs decided to make their tools windows only, and cause linux application development gets less attention?

Ohh sure, lemme write it down.
I disagree however the article could have been focused more on the two lists at the end of the article.
The both lists can go on, but where do you disagree the most?
I disagree with the comment that the article was a waste of time
