Linux on desktop has been ready for years now, it absolutely shreds apple and microsofts offerings, ubuntu desktop is about as schmick as it gets regardless of your views of the parent company.

Mac on the other hand is an absolute nightmare to administer for clients. Same with their phones. Printing from web browser on a Mac? Completely broken. Have to save everything to desktop and open it from there. It's an absolute joke. Wanna use your 7 year old Mac to browse the web? Oh wait you can't because the os blocks it. Legit joke of a product.

It’s an extraordinary claim that Mac printing is broken. It’s one area where it’s vastly superior to any other OS I’ve frequently used (including Windows, all of the common BSDs, and more Linux distros than you’ve heard of).

With pretty much any printer brand sold at Office Max, Mac printing looks like:

1. Hit cmd-P.

2. Find the printer in the pop up window and click the Print button.

3. Walk over and get the paper.

The same’s true for AirPrint from iPhones and iPads. I don’t remember the last time I had trouble printing from any of those to any Brother or Canon or HP around any of the offices I’ve helped. That doesn’t count the time the previous admin had blocked mDNS on the router because he had a cargo cult theory of network security.
