Folks: why is it not year of Linux on desktop?

Me: setting up a printer

(And before anyone asks, yeah, I tried it through GNOME/the graphical settings app. This is the only thing that worked, using a legacy driver that I had to scroll though a list of thousands of entries to find in a – thank fuck it exists – legacy web interface from what looks like circa 1993, which I’m informed is not going to exist for much longer.)

@aral 2024 is indeed (once again) the year of Linux on the desktop.

You’re looking for the year of the printer. That’s on aisle 1997.

jernej__s,

@aral Doesn't look too different from Windows print driver selection (and Windows is also dropping support for print drivers in the near future).

@aral that's a not-too-shabby Postscript-emulating network enabled printer. Sure you didn't configure anything in a fancy way? Should be super straightforward.

@datenimperator It is on every iDevice in the house.
