    To be totally fair, I don’t mind people being critical about Linux in our Linux community. And he brings up a few good points, but loses in some other. And so the arguments he has are muddied with his tone as well, that it comes over as a toxic comment rather than a critical comment pointing real issues.

    I’m a Linux fanboy, but even I realize there are problems. And its okay to talk about problems. But its not okay in the tone he did. In my opinion.

      Definitely. There’s a difference between critique and criticism. The former has a goal that’s constructive. The latter just seeks to tear down.

        I’m not sure if that was his goal, so I wouldn’t say the person was a troll or like that. I think it was just a situation of frustration and then losing control a bit. I’m not excusing it, just trying to analyze and looking between the lines and above and after. Yeah, I pretty much learned this skill from Reddit days. :D
