Well, it's mostly emotional (the leitmotif: "how can you say CentOS Stream is bad if you didn't try it?"). And the author's bio spoils the fun, as well: "Ben Porter is a Linux and open source advocate, currently working as an OpenShift consultant for Red Hat." And the comments to the graphs, where RHEL, CentOS and Fedora are placed on a line, are simply ridiculous (such as "did you use to consider RHEL to be the CentOS beta?"). With all due respect to Ben Porter, it didn't convince me. -- Sincerely, Konstantin Boyandin system administrator (ProWide Labs Ltd. - IPHost Network Monitor)
