I get the sentiment but the article is more targeted at the PC gaming crowd that isn't exactly tech-illiterate but probably only knows Linux from memes about it requiring you to recompile a kernel to install Chrome or some other BS like that

I think a good portion of Lemmy and the fediverse already know it's been at this level for a long while now but I'm excited to see articles like this since it means the tide is turning against Windows for the average user

Yeah just look at the article's comment section (not recommended). Still full of ignorant misinformation. Borderline disinformation IMO.

Yeah, though would be better if the well were not poisoned, misleading perceptions, with words like "brave" and "now".
