I don't like it. He is just perpetuating the endless stereotypes that plague linux and harm linux adoption.

If you are using a somewhat stable distro and don't have weird hardware, you don't need to "write your own driver" etc. A lot more people "punch themselves in the face" by using a buggy, ad infested, data harvesting operating system even though they just need a web browser.

Get thicker skin. You've no problem criticizing windows, so have some humility and realise Linux is not perfect. And it's a joke. Learn to laugh at yourself
