The author cries about being not able to boot from the USB stick and that his ColorHug2 might be broken.
Also that only GNOME appears to have color management. XFCE and KDE seem to be lacking in that regard.
What platforms do they all use? Not Macintosh, despite its reputation for being the platform for "graphics professionals" (it was missing 10 bit/channel color until very recently). And not Linux, despite its use in render farms.
They use Windows 10 and HP DreamColor monitors. That's the only platform that works and works well for people who need to care about color.

Not everyone is a developer, and this type of comments is why everyone that cares about UI/UX design professionally, eventually goes back to Windows or macOS.
That type of comment is also the underlying reason why Linux improves/fixes things at such an astronomical rate compared to either of the choices you listed. It's not just saying "Hey you, go fix that." , it's saying "Hey everyone viewing this comment on a public page : this exists and needs to be fixed. Someone grab a wrench."

He wrote a pretty detailed blog article explaining his issues and how he got around them, this is all very useful information to someone who is looking to do something similar. Spending €100 also isn't an insignificant amount, and for that price I would expect what I'm buying to work properly.
I don't understand that attitude, that's a pretty low price for a niche open hardware device.
We’ve seen this play out dozens of times since the ‘90s, and the startups keep making the same mistakes.
They should at least read their predecessors retrospectives, and strive to make different mistakes.

The Linux community will attempt to solve the problem by attempting to create an entirely new color management system, which will get at best 80% done with a handful of outstanding Hard bugs, at least one of which will be bad enough to break the entire thing except on one specific distro/gui/hardware combination.

What attitude? Paying for something and then expecting it to actually work?
The attitude that the cost gap between products in the same category will not be accounted for elsewhere in the user experience or product quality. tl;dr : you get what you pay for.
Ok, but I'm not sure how that explains it. You'll need to go into more detail.

...and it'll be difficult to turn off for those not in the professions named in the other comments here which require accurate colour, using monitors with smaller gamuts, and would much prefer to have the "raw", "unmanaged" behaviour.
Many of my (Hollywood) clients need to do color grading and other accurate color work. What platforms do they all use? Not Macintosh, despite its reputation for being the platform for "graphics professionals" (it was missing 10 bit/channel color until very recently). And not Linux, despite its use in render farms.
