I am all for replacing MS products with Linux, but the article is old. We are not in a time travel capsule; at the least not most of us. I would more expect current topics to match, e. g. replacing Win11 with Linux.
Also, I found WinXP actually better than Win7, Win10, Win11. At the least simpler to use.
