So your problem with the email is that you don't like it when a leadership guy tells people to look at themselves before they cry. Well, I'm glad you're not my lead. I want people to tell me when I'm doing something wrong. It's how I learn and grow.

I don't think a "he used to be worse" defense is a takeaway from the above. The comment mentions the past to highlight it's not like previous rants people may assume it might be like to encourage giving it a read. Separate explanations were offered for why they believe the message was a reasonable response in its own light. I agree the last 2-3 paragraphs could be better but I disagree that's the bar for what's profe…

Well, one of the biggest drivers of consumer Linux adoption in recent years has been the Steam Deck, and compatibility with Steam games. The article explicitly calls out how this improves performance for this use case. I think your opinion is an unpopular one.

Yeah, I know multiple people running Linux at home and Windows compatibility us a critical feature for them. For the people I know not in tech about half would switch if Linux got up to par in: 1. Ability to play any video game 2. Compatibility with hardware (e.g. one of my friends is booting windows temporarily as his graphics card has an issue on Linux) 3. Usability/looks. This is subjective but for people used to…
