They work better in Linux than Windows, not to mention backwards compatibility.

EDIT: I may be wrong about newest printer models, 2020 and above.

EDIT2: Hardware problems are an entirely different issue.

I could, but you would think their own driver would work!

Not a pain on Linux at all. Printing is a breeze. As is scanning. Go figure.

It always comes down to the vendor and driver.

On Linux, I had to go through a dozen different drivers and just as many driver versions before I found the one that worked with my printer. For Windows, it worked immediately.

With my old printer, though, it was the opposite experience. Took forever to get it working on Windows but Linux got it immediately.

You’d think by now, with the dozen different printing standards that exist, we’d have some sort of plug and play driver that could work with every printer.

  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can’t quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
