The article seems like less a critique and more of an informational report of this person's experience.

>Whilst I enjoy this kind of tinkering, it was disappointing that a "Dev Kit", built for developers can neither boot Linux, nor enable a custom Linux Kernel for WSL2.

What's that I hear Hacker News and Reddit cry? "It's a Dev Kit for Windows, you moron!" That may be the case, but Microsoft "Loves Linux", and clearly has worked hard to make WSL2 available out of the box on these devices.

It’s not a scathing attack or anything, but it is in fact critical of Microsoft.

Fair enough, but those were a couple sentences out of a multipage article. I just get tired of comments for any article that involves Microsoft in some way turning into generic arguments over whether people should like or hate Microsoft, overshadowing the actual content of the article. The arguments tend to rehash the same tropes over and over and are pretty tedious and not interesting.

But I guess I'm just adding to the problem by turning it into an equally tedious meta-argument. I'll stop now ...
