I’ve noticed a general sentiment that printing on Linux is (or at least was) extremely cumbersome and difficult. Why is that?

    An u until live CD will find my decade old HP laser and print to it without any work.

    Getting my NIXOS to print at the same printer? About an hour.

          No, it is highly reproducible. I think the idea of Nix OS isn’t bad. I actually looked into it for Samba as deploying software on Nix is easy. The problem is that it doesn’t scale well.

            I think Nix is the future. I feel like at some point we could have fedora ublue for all distros by using nix with GUI configs.
