This list exaggerates many issues in an attempt to inflate the list.

It's totally bloated, full of baseless personal opinions.

A few examples:

- "Nvidia open-source driver nouveau.." - why include it if not to bloat the list?

- "Under Linux, setting multi-monitor configurations especially using multiple GPUs running binary NVIDIA drivers can be a major PITA" - Bollox. Gnome/Mate Display-Manager does an excellent job. If you're still using X11 manual configs than what do you expect..

- "Linux drivers are usually much worse (they require a lot of tinkering..)" - Broad statements are usually wrong. Especially this one based on an opinion from the 90's.

- "Resume after suspend in Linux is unstable and oftentimes doesn't work." - Bollox. Resume from Hybernate - maybe. But suspend works perfectly most of the time.

- "X.org is largely outdated" - duh... the whole list on this topic is dated issues resolved by WM.

- "Adding custom monitor modelines in Linux is a major PITA." - Is it? a one line command? and how do you do it on Windows? oh you can't...

- "Applications development is a major PITA" - this is ridiculous.
