Sensationalist. They are not hostile towards Linux, but they like the
attention, so they choose headline that very, very poorly summarise a story
(and are often deceiving or false as well).
Dell is actually very happy with its Linux desktop sales so far.

...On the desktop and also on the server, where Dell says Linux is growing

So far, so good.
