The article is poorly thought-out and even more poorly written.

Couldn't agree more. It's probably worse than the other post he refers to. Just no depth or analysis to it. There's a high probability all his posts will be similar. "You know what, I gave that Linux thing an honest try. I ran it for almost 2 hours and couldn't figure out how to do things the same way I do them in Windows." Then he gets a migraine and goes back to familiar territory.

This is probably the lowest quality article I've ever read at LXer, and that's saying a lot. No depth at all. Obviously there only to get clicks.

Wow really? This is "Today's Big Story"? That really depresses, I really enjoy lxer in general but this is just sad/disappointing.

Well, you guys made it Today's Big Story :-) The big story is picked automatically based on the number of reads and the number of comments on a story.

Article? It's just a rant.

Apparently, if you warn everyone to not bother wasting their time on a poorly thought-out and even-more-poorly-written article, it makes them want to read it even more.

I think this is great. This article, and is previous one telling us why nobody should try Linux (and he hadn't, of course) show that some people are too incredibly stupid to write coherently or use a computer. Let him stick with Windows and malware. Somehow I don't think he'll hurt Linux adoption.
