Yes, and my printer was found immediately through the network and the print quality was great. Guess it depends on the brand though, and maybe the distro you’re using.
I’m making a joke about how if he’s ever used printing in Linux, he’s likely a “fool with no brain” as it uses CUPS, which is maintained in large part by Apple.
Printing in Linux has mostly been plug and play for years now. I just gave it the IP of my printer and it automagically set everything up. Scanning was a bit of a removed.
CUPS is dated for sure, but most modern OSes (OpenSuse here) have wrappers around it to make the setup pretty straightforward.
Apple and Microsoft will never get my money. So i don’t use any MS and Apple products. Apple products are for fools who have no brain.
This is such an immature take.
Microsoft basically owns the enterprise world because they simply do Enterprise and business better than anyone else.
Apple sells appliances. They’re great for people who don’t have time to babysit a Linux distro.
Have you ever printed anything on Linux before?

Shit, that went right above my head.

We really need an alternative to CUPS. Unfortunately, that will probably just be systemd swallowing up printing too.
