Some of us like Linux on our desktops (and laptops) and do not use web apps for anything intensive.
The only web app I make intensive use of is Google Reader, and I plan to move away from it. I am glad that so many programmers and startups can make a living on a platform (the web) that is not controlled by any gatekeeper, but I would be sad if I were forced to move to something like Chrome OS.
Yes, only about 1% of users of desktops and laptops run Linux, but that situation is probably sustainable given how knowledgeable and resourceful that 1% is.
If you do not want to see discussion among that 1%, maybe you could just avoid articles like this?
