From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

After how many decades of printers being in existence, they are STILL the worst peripheral. Did the inventor of the desktop printer sell their soul to the devil or something because I swear to gods every single one of them is possessed by troll demons.

I used to have issues with CUPS and wireless printers. Then we replaced our home printer with the business flavour (next to no difference between them but for a couple of extra features including wireless).... This one gives us trouble when printing via LAN but is completely plug and play via wireless 😬😈🤦🏻‍♀️🙄
