certainly libreoffice, gimp, vlc, are very excellent popular freeware,
but so is inkscape, plus a dozen more essentials conspicuously absent especially in this context, not a peep about tor browser, omnimix, or
anonymous remailers . . . not a word about usenet or free newsreaders
and yet, this link was cross-posted to two privacy-related newsgroups

Pretty sad they're referring to Linux in general terms. Why not
just recommend Linux Mint? It's by far the most user-friendly
Linux distro.

There may be a reason for the diversity of the Linux distribution
flavours, even despite big$$$ would prefer the one streamlined
"standard" to rule them all.
