The article addresses this.
>But let’s be honest, while some users will certainly see Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, or Debian as a viable alternative (or upgrade) to Windows, most personal and business users aren’t going to go that route.
Yeah, you and me could save one of these machines from being e-waste, but most people won't bother. The headline is a bit questionable, but that's more common than not. I had a similar initial reaction to you (minus the Apple Silicon bit, I have high hopes for Asahi), but upon seeing the website url I was pretty sure they'd mention GNU/Linux somewhere in there.
