It’s a play on taking some ballpark similiarities and making it seem like Apple 2019 and Linux 2000 are alike.
Some might enjoy it, some might not but this is not meant as serious technical piece.
- after 2 years, my LG Ultrafine 5K still won't turn on at least once a week. During the first year, it was even freezing the MBP (monitor is up to date).
- after 2 years using it, touch bar still feels like a miss, a toy gadget, now I need to carry an external keyboard (together with many dongles). And touch bar is still buggy, I have to switch apps to unlock it at least once a week. Not really "Pro" AFAIC.
- kernel_task runs at 50% CPU now and then for no reason (cannot reproduce, no logs)
- I need to reboot my MBP once a week for no reason (cannot reproduce, no logs), I don't care for the few minutes lost, it's just I can't debug it easily
- restriction on Safari Extensions requires to publish through App Store only, which killed uBlock Origin (at least for now)

Took me a long time to figure out too. I had the same frustration, that there is no way to debug the problem. A debug kernel is a PITA.
I have Macs. I love them, they are probably my favorite computers.
I still found this funny & amusing. It is clearly not meant as a serious argument.
Not that it's illegal, but he shouldn't be surprised if people just dismiss him whatever message he's trying to send just because he seems insufferable.
I will say that you can write whatever the hell you want on the internet and the reach you'll get will probably be the free pass or not, it's not for you or me to decide.
He can say whatever he wants, people can upvote whatever they want, commenters can comment whatever they want. I'm just trying to justify a viewpoint you could be taking when interacting with this article...
Note that he says Linux and Apple fanboys. You can still like either while being realistic about their flaws and shortcommings.
Also, learn to take a joke.
Yes and no. Technically it's his blog and he can put whatever he wants if he doesn't want people to take him seriously. I'm not saying I agree with his language used but he probably wasn't expecting it to feature on news aggregaters and it's not like internet discussions comparing Apple and Linux are known for being devoid of arguments and heated knee-jerk comments; even without the initial flamebait.
