Linux 2000: writing a post summarizing Linux's issues will compel a point by point response in which a fanboy will either tell you "works for me" or "you're holding it wrong".

Apple 2019: writing a post summarizing Apple products' issues will compel a point by point response in which a fanboy will either tell you "works for me" or "you're holding it wrong".

In any case, writing a point by point post full of false claims can and should result in rebuttals.

It'd help if the author didn't list items that simply aren't true. The MBP 15" has had 4 usb ports since 2016.

It shows a disregard for the facts that some may rightfully call "flamebait".
