    Great article : some parts are about :

    1- USB flash drive benchmarks, * many models, * many file systems …
    2- copying large files beyond the internal caching abilities of the flash drive makes the writing speed drop by ~10x … so, impossible to trust any benchmarks ; real use ( Linux install for instance), has to be done.
    3- all Linux’s window managers and all it’s desktop environments are less ergonomic than Win95, … KDE Plasma 5 is an horrendous bloat.

    The author of this article is doing his job, don’t ask a cinema critique to shoot movies. (… i may update after reading more )

      continuing.my.comment.:
      From that article :

      “For fuck’s sake, are they all completely dumb in the FOSS world?!”

      This statement is completely wrong in most situations, yet :
      .1) in the context it seems right, and
      .2) the word “dumb” should be replaced by “disconnected” from user’s reality.
