    I’ve recently moved everything over to CachyOS after a Windows 10 LTSC security update failed to install multiple times.

    I’m actually really surprised by how well everything works, including my nvidia GPU, microphone, and drawing tablet. The only thing that’s not working rn is my Canon printer but that might be more of my own skill issue with using CUPS and CAPT and can be remedied by emailing myself a PDF and printing from my phone.

    I was fully expecting to fuck my shit up forever.

    EDIT: To be clear, Windows would occasionally crash on me and take forever to start back up. Linux is running much better.

      I recently had trouble with a very old Canon printer, I acquired. After some attempts that even involved tracking down original driver files from 13 years ago, I realized I just had to install ‘gutenprint’ and then add it throuoh my KDE menu. Just works now.

      Bro, it’s a printer. I call them a Schrödinger printer, both dead or alive until you try to use it… in which case it’ll likely be dead. Because it’s a printer. And they’re shit.
