There's a comments section below the article and the author actually listens to the input and updates the article when something is no longer true.

Or bans you :-) How funny so many people point out the subjectivity of your article huh ? Facts, facts, facts... Pedrito :-)
For the past four weeks a single person has been banned because he was obsessed with the Linux kernel and dismissed the entire article because of that.

Nice you've discovered that while overlooking the other 3000 comments.

That's called selective attention and confirmation bias, sir.

A single one :) Sure about that ? ^^ But nice to hear that dismissing your article leads to ban. Indeed this is what I experienced myself...
If you're dismissing something with prejudice (yep, the last banned commentator just didn't have anything valuable to add and he was simply obsessed with the Linux kernel and terminology though the article explicitly states it's about Linux for/on the desktop) it's not even clear why you choose to comment upon in the first place. Dismiss the whole website then! Don't visit it ever ;-) Show your total indifference. :-)

This pesky horrible Web 1.0 website filled with FUD from an unknown Joe doesn't deserve your time. 2 million visitors over 10 years? That's what google.com sees in a few minutes. Cited and quoted all over the web? Still doesn't make it an authority. Almost everything on it is either wrong or exaggerated.

Aren't you smiling and laughing yet? You must be ;-)

I am not this guy who was obsessed by Linux Kernel. Just check your Disqus dashboard and you will get the list of the users you banned these last days if you cannot remember by yourself ^^

But anyway, why dismissing the whole website which i do not know ? I am just talking about this lazy article you wrote, full of perceptions but a bit short when it comes to facts... And so outdated... You wanted to promote yourselves on HN but regarding the amount of negative feedbacks, I hope you got that before thinking about promotion, you should think about working harder and better.

> You wanted to promote yourselves

I have never promoted the article on HN. You may recheck who posted the link here.

> full of perceptions but a bit short when it comes to facts

I will dismiss this utterance with prejudice. In absolute most cases the people who use it actually have no counter arguments or valid criticism.

Edit: actually there's nothing from you in this discussion aside from "it's all wrong".
