I wrote an article on my switch to the gaming focused Linux distro, coming from Windows 11 and thought you all might enjoy the journey.

It’s just another human being wanting to communicate to others something they found interesting and enguaging, you don’t need to read it (indeed you probabally didn’t since you are ignoring these sort of posts, which is totally fine and your own decision). Your preference not to read these sort of titles does not mean other peeople do not want to, or, in fact, that those same people are interested reading your views on the topic - live and let live, just don’t be rude about it.
This is not a way to communicate, this is a click bait by creating fomo by saying “look at me, I’m using this and that and you must use it as well because everyone does and you’re missing out” Fuck that shit
On the contrary, I find it to be pretty honest about the article’s contents. Clickbait implies it misrepresents the content behind it, or adds noise to it that exaggerates what the content entails.
The article itself is persuasive in nature and quite literally is intended to convince the reader to adopt some new product or service- in this case, Nobara. The author is of the opinion that the reader will benefit by switching over. The title reflects that.
It doesn’t say you “must” use some alternative. Necessity isn’t implied anywhere in the title. And the fomo? Nowhere does it say everyone is using Nobara and you should adopt it so you don’t miss out. The article lists and elaborates on the arguments Nathan makes, which aren’t just an appeal to majority, and the title reflects that.
If you’re going to throw a fit over a title of an article be honest about how persuasive the content is and what the actual article is about, then that’s just childish.
