Not a particularly well-written article, but some interesting points.

The constant "Linux isn't good enough shots" in all these articles is annoying, though. I was on Linux full time in 2010, and found it far more pleasant than OS X.

I've been "full time" on Linux since 1998 (part-time since 1995 - started with Monkey Linux on a 386 laptop, then moved to Turbo Linux 2.0 on a 486 laptop); I found it interesting that the author of this article seems to think that the devs of GIMP haven't always been frustrated by the various color management issues - because most of them are proprietary problems that don't mesh with open source.

The bits about X11/Wayland made me a bit curious. The author claims we're "only just now" moving towards Wayland -- is there a big movement towards it lately that I've been missing?

Yeah its finally shipped by default with GNOME in both Fedora and Arch (Fedora shipped it for the first time in 25). So thats where that is coming from.

Exactly! I am using GNOME 3 with Wayland in Arch and enjoying it very much.
