The headlines are not insulting, you're taking discussion about open-source too personally.

These are headlines that have a definite negative slant.

They aren't something to foster discussion, but something that tugs on the emotions of the reader.

That's a sure fire tactic for pissing people off.

But also definite true one. Wine has always been short of the promise it made (except for specific, select, apps), and the laptop is bad on any metric that matters except the "I can update it to make it have a less bad processor when that becomes available for it".
