Yes Linux is ready
The question is whether OEMs are ready to support it properly. Because so far all I've seen are half-assed installations on poorly tested products that are given little in the way of customer support.

Well maybe not all of those things at once, but every Linux OEM so far has come up short in at least one of those areas. But I guarantee you that if a Linux OEM gave the kind of support Apple gives in its brick and mortar stores that they would be very successful.
