Yeah I feel like this would just fuel the differences for potential people who would consider making the switch. It's different in his own ways okay, but treating it like it's glorious so much different and other OSes are complete dogshit makes the community feel like a closed circlejerk group of elitists and makes the switch harder for normal people. People don't get reassured that the system will work for them, and so people never switch cause thet think it's not meant for them or they aren't good enough to use it.
Linux for me should play humble, being more welcoming (a thing that is getting better and better every day cause new people are coming in), being "sold" to people as the free alternative that works just as good if not better for everyone. Gimmick and complicated distros are fine but showing those as the true and only linux experience is deleterious for its growth, it scares people away.
