I agree with many of your points you present, and you're right — I am being a little bit emotional about it, but that's because I am trying to appeal toward emotional people and use the emotion as an impetus to explain there is more than just Windows out there.
Of the concerns in the OP FAQ you brought up, I'm producing a straw-man of the person who would say Ewww, Linux! Linux is trash! Linux is awful! Fsck Linux, nobody should use it! and presenting a counter-argument in a condescending tone against the straw-man, because I believe people who already think this way wouldn't listen to reason if you tried because they may literally have no time for you. It's a little bit of kayfabe schadenfreude which is meant to entertain the readers while at the same time telling people who actually think like that there is no time of day anybody should give them.
Of the overall tone from the blog this thread is linked to, I'm not re-doing it because the intent is to cause some concern and be a little… sensational with it as a means to provoke conversation and exchange of ideas. This very fact compelled you to post, which I consider a success as more people will see there are others that use Linux, and — while not necessarily fanatical — use it habitually as a viable alternative to Windows for people who wish to do work with their computer. My angle is anything other than the mainstream choices are OSes without ads for people who already know what they want, and I am presenting that to an audience whose vast majority genuinely knows no better, and genuinely does not know what they want.
Of the condescension in my tone, I could improve upon that. There are too many people already who address things in this way, but I am not going to lie about it; this is everywhere in the Linux space, as much elsewhere. But the one thing I will never insult anybody for is what they are using; a vocal minority of Arch Linux users want to rip users of derivatives to shreds. A Debian minority are still ever-spiteful for how Canonical massacred their boy with Ubuntu. There's likely a Fedora minority who doesn't take GloriousEggroll's Nobara project seriously. and it's all just so stupid but it's a reality that has coloured my commentary, and I do apologise for that.
The version EOL for Linux distributions is not nearly as bad compared to Windows. They are not the same. Where Linux distros typically add features, do the occasional programme swap to something better-supported or adjust their live images to be at-parity with what a user should get when they install their Linux instance; Microsoft tends to take away from the end-user or figure out some way to shove more crap into the system which bloats it up and wastes our precious limited time.
Microsoft would no sooner cut their nose to spite their face if it means another billion in their coffers, and what had happened to Tango Gameworks proves just as much. So the other angle I am presenting with my writings is an abolition of Windows as a matter of speaking with one's wallet, which is where the "OS bashing" comes from. Not using Windows means not supporting Microsoft, and the few times you must use it certainly has options; I have an AME-modified Windows instance — Atlas OS for Windows 10 — on an M.2 device I use as a Windows on-the-go instance, which operates just fine at 480 Mb/s. That doesn't mean I want to use it, but I am not that blinded with hate as to absolutely ignore it when my Linux solutions fall flat for my gaming needs with friends.
