While I agree with your overall sentiment, I also think that calling the article "useless and stupid" kind of ignores that the author explicitly states in the very first sentence that they can only present the perpesective of a long-time exclusive Linux user. Undoubtedly, had the author been a longtime user of both Linux and Windows, as is your case, then surely they would have had a different experience and conslusions all together.

I'm not saying the author isn't biased in favour of Linux - all I am saying is that they seem to be pretty upfront about it from the very get go. Had they pretended to supposedly be writing an objective, scientifically valid comparison, then I would concede there is an element of stupidity. But that's not the case - they're pretty transparent as to who they are and what perspective they are describing their experience from.

Tldr: arguably its more like some sort of guilty-pleasure entertainment for Linux users rather than "stupid"
