    In the United States, just about everyone uses "US Letter" (8.5 in. × 11 in., or 216 × 279 mm), and not "A4" (210 × 297 mm)

    How is that relevant? I'm using a UK version of Windows, not US.

    which means that oftentimes on Linux, you have to remember to switch from A4 to Letter.

    My Linux installations are set to be localized for the UK, so, I don't know if the defaults for US localization is different.
