A quick skim indicates that the issues all look like legitimate complaints, but the descriptions are very editorialized. So yeah, I’m inclined to call this a rant.
strangely some Linux developers oppose to the whole idea of games on Linux.
Where the linked source actually reveals the author to have said “we (KDE window management) actually hate
that games change the resolution”. Quite a different sentiment.
Narod.ru used to be a free wizard-page-website hosting service, owned by Yandex at one point; “Narod” / “народ” literally means “people” or “the masses”, or what have you.
Very surprised Narod.ru is still alive, and used by Linux professionals.
It’s even more surprising that such a well written article is hosted on some weird no-name free hosting services most people have never heard of (as someone pointed, now being redirected to altervisa.org). What gives? A link to a CV in a ZIP file at the bottom of the article is also a bit suspicious… I wanted to see who this guy is, but I don’t trust my unzip(1) enough…
The overall tone of this article seems like a rant, not sure if the tag should be added or not?

Hmm. Google tells me this is a suspected phishing site.

Whatever Safari uses for this concurs.
Well, it does have a .ru TLD, although clicking on it redirected me to http://itvision.altervista.org/why.linux.is.not.ready.for.the.desktop.current.html
