I found this really interesting and it makes a lot of sense for them to do this. Unfortunately it might also lead to uninformed customer decisions, like people having no idea that Retina screens are just HighDPI displays that are available on other devices as well. Same thing can happen with many of these brandings people might consider a selling point.

I hate articles like this, so let's go through it.
- 1: Fair, but it undermines how much you can tune Windows and MacOS, they are not nearly as set in stone as people think.
- 2: Completely true and based.
- 3: There is a Linux way of doing things, and there are many things that follow from that, like not being able to do advanced admin task without a command line, unlike on Windows. Lock-in also refers more to stuff like hardware lock in for MacOS not just the OS not having an option to change something.
- 4: Kinda fair, if you use the right distro with the right settings, but in my experience you still have to reboot semi-often.
- 5: I don't get this one, Wine is on MacOS and Windows has WSL(g), so I don't see how you are ahead on Linux at all.
- 6: This is kinda dumb kinda not dumb, Ignores the AppStore, WinStore, winget and other tools common on these OSs.
- 7: Ok, I'm good on this. People have some pretty sick Wallpaper engine and raindrop setups on Windows as well.
- 8: Nah, I don't know what you are talking about there mate. based on my last few install sessions for laptops there are plenty of stuff that is glitchy as all hell.
Do you have a proposal that has a better chance of reddit to change or alter their decisions without angering this many users?
