From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Judging by post & history. They are just a troll. As for this article. I don't understand why anyone bothers sharing it. It is one of the most hot garbage ones I have seen. Most of this article gives arguments that are either old, have no relevance here or are just plainly cherrypicked (the jitsi one for example, open the link and see the last comment, that they quoted). Most things are also application side issue with no relevance for wayland devs. "Oh my app does not work in wayland? Must be wayland's fault!" This is a rubbish logicless argument. If one wants to not use Wayland, they are welcome. But things like "Boycott Wayland" are irritating to those who do want to use Wayland because they know how Xorg is.
Aka Python 3 isn't Turing complete
