With respect to gaming, the parent was referring to work done in the browser, so probably not including gaming. We use consoles for all the gaming in our house, so at least for us that's a non-issue.
I have to disagree on printers. My experience with getting printers to work on Ubuntu is that you have to follow these steps:
Plug it in
Start printing
That's never really been the case for Windows. We used to have to mess with driver installation and then reboot. Sometimes we'd have to do more than that based on visiting a website. When Vista was first released, a lot of older printers were not supported, and that included one of ours. The only solution was to use Linux.
Just a few days ago, my (Windows-using) aunt was visiting and told me her printer stopped working. She has no idea how to get it to work and now she'll have to pay someone to figure it out for her. My mother has had similar issues. I don't much care about Linux vs Windows but I don't think printer support is a highlight of Windows.
