Yeah, it's just... sorry, but there is nothing in the world so exciting that 149 exclamation points (thanks to another poster for counting) is warranted.
When every statement is exciting and special, then none of them are.
shrugs I'm getting old these days, but to me those exclamation points helped convey the tone the writer was chasing. I read the article, then watched one of the VODs of their streaming, and what do you know: the inner tone I heard while reading the article matched how they talk!
But perhaps I'm biased: I write how I talk too, and use and abuse punctuation to attempt to mimic my own voice.
I'm pretty sure that M1 Linux GPU drivers are indeed that exciting. Being able to ditch the ever-increasing burden of keeping macOS from telling the Cupertino mothership every single little thing I do on my Mac for a proper Linux desktop on the best laptop ever made (I have a maxed out 64gb/8tb M1 max rMBP) is... exciting, to put it mildly.
