A good article. It prepares people to a realistic approach to Linux.
Anyway, if your computer is, say, one year old and it comes with an inkjet printer of the same age, then it’s very likely that everything will work perfectly. Where the PC buyer needs to do some research is in the case of a brand new equipment array that is required to work with Linux from the very beginning: Make sure all the hardware and peripherals you want to buy will work with your Linux distro of choice.
In my opinion, one big hardware problem Linux has and that the community should address more seriously, is the use of webcams.
