You can change a lot more settings to make your development environment comfortable
That’s not the point, the point is you don’t need to buy something new to run it (see: TPMs, mac vendor lock-in) and the entire thing just runs faster (see: Windows)
Still, it’s better package managers that centralize your apps in the same places, contrary to update managers which still require searching for files a bit when you need to find them.
Back-end scripting and management
I do not see where the article mentions your summary’s points 1 and 3.
The second paragraph of the first point is all about customizability.
It is certainly noticeable on machines without much memory, though I guess developer workstations have enough. For me even with everything booting Firefox or Waterfox on a PC is still noticeably slower than on Linux with a walmart laptop (natively and unsandboxed) and booting + login till the same number of apps/services start is quite faster on Linux.
Hmm, sure. I guess I conflated back-end development with managing.
