In short, the article offers: "Which of the three is best? The one you like most. If you like good things, then it's Linux." It is neither wise, nor critical, nor useful.

I don't know how people-pleasing passes as having something to say these days. You can answer any dilemma and every question in life with "the right answer is the one you like". Which completely misses the context of what the dilemma is or why it is.

"Which car should I buy: an indestructible economy box, or a $$$$ luxury lifestyle machine?" "Just buy the one you like".

"And which house?" "The one you like!".

"And what securities should I invest in?" "The ones you like!".

"Exercise or eat a bucket ice cream" "The one you like most!"

Truly an all-purpose advice, always guaranteed to please the one receiving it and do nothing more.
