As far as I know, you still need to install some sort of 3rd party application in order to scan things. Printing to a “normal” printers handles just fine on all OS’s these days, even the mobile ones. This is why I mentioned scanimage. It’s a terminal utility that comes with a lot of different distros.
The user of the OS doesn’t have to do anything. Just go into terminal and type in “scanimage” - don’t have to worry about downloading an app, don’t have to worry about setting up drivers, etc
It was just an example I thought of to show that Linux in certain areas is going to be simpler and smoother than Windows. It “just works”. The main crux is familiarity with the terminal.
