Edu, Rom is a long time Linux user, so he knows what he's talking
about. We have to admit that it is true that overall, Macs provide
better hardware-software compatibility, but that's because Apple has
been consistent in keeping third-party vendors of peripherals/software
up to their standards of integration. The trade-off is cost of that
experience. You get what you pay for.

Linux still has some way to go for that level of integration. But it
is getting there, it isn't that far away. And that is what many of us are
working towards.
