I love how Linux "advocates" make it seem like OS X or Windows are evil if
you need to use software not made by Apple / Microsoft respectively. But
very little of the software you use on Mint is made by the Mint team... very
little of the software you use on *any* Linux distro is made by that one
team. They shoot themselves in the foot when they push that limitation.

Good to see Windows 10 get it by default... but not a big deal for people on
older versions of Windows to get a third party driver. Way back in 2011 I
even made a video showing people how to do it:
<https://youtu.be/KirbI1DuFfo>.

The "advocates" act like this was some super secret on Windows nobody knew
about.

HP did a lot of value added software for win7.  win7 didn't have work 
place screen switching, but HP added that into the system and even gives 
you three ways to do it and works great.

You are delusional if you think that the OS X way of getting a
PDF copy of a web page recipe is more "streamlined" than this:

LOL! At this point you have to be joking.

On OS X: Select to print, then select the folder you want (and it need not
be a folder in the side bar of your file browser). You can also select other
folders or apps to send the PDF to. All in the context of working in the
browser or other app.

Linux: leave the web browser to go to the file browser and click a menu item
that then works with the web browser. And to do this you would want to add
and remove items because to keep all the features you have on OS X your menu
would have 100 items in it.

Seriously, you are not that lost. You can't be.

Why "print"?  I'm not wanting to *print* anything, fool.

You're in the web browser.  You like the recipe you see.  You slide your
mouse to the desktop and right click -> Save Recipe as PDF.  Done.
On OS X it's digging down in a menu tree over and over for every tabbed
recipe.  TEDIOUS and INEFFICIENT.  That's the OS X way!

So the OS X Print menu has 100 items in it?  How retarded.

Already discussed. Linux, Windows, and OS X all work with PDFs in the Print
menu... OS X just does more with PDF Services.

Yes, it can be confusing for the OSs to do this. Next.

Right. You leave the program. You got to the desktop. I realize the program
is still open... but you are not using the tools in the program. You are
using desktop services.

I just made a video... it is uploading but I am heading out. I will point
you to it later. It explains context. Apparently this is a concept you are
struggling with. The video is rambling and 16 minutes long, but it shows not
just one feature in isolation, which you can replicate (sorta) on Linux but
how they all work together. No real planning as I made it so it rambles.
Whatever. This whole discussion has gotten silly.

Maybe it is just because I use an OS where such context is a given that I
find it hard to understand how others can find it so challenging to
understand?

See, you just actively work to not understand and misrepresent. Silly.

Anyway, I mention this in the video - I think... just recorded it and did
not watch it. Will upload when I get back. Then will be gone for a few
hours.
