Linux - I hope you don't need to print anything because CUPS works intermittently at best.
Yeah that depends on the printer to be sure. But the common denominator there is printers fucking suck. Trying printing across AD domains or having usable point and print in windows without just saying fuck it and removing the print nightmare mitigation via regkey.
I use windows at work and I can say...fuck printers in general
I have had less trouble printing on Linux than on Windows. YMMV.
I never had printers behave well under windows either though
But that is because they are printers, and printers are gremlins that make sure to keep you off your work whenever they can.
Seriously, it is because printers need to convert analog to digital to analog, which is crazy difficult to get right.
It's a little known fact, that Linux only got to where it is, fueled by the rage against printers that gave birth to the GPL.
Weird, I have literally never had any issues with CUPS, in environments where Windows completely failed due to the drivers being for an older version or unsigned or such
Yeah I ran cups from when the distros first started pushing for it hard and it always just worked at the office.
Recently at home my wife's been complaining about air print not working well, so I decided to throw CUPS into a docker and have her use that as the interface. I don't know if it's my Wi-Fi network my printer or what but I've been fighting it for a solid week it'll work for a print or two maybe three and then nothing. Nope sorry that printer's not reachable anymore. Meanwhile all the windows boxes print to it just fine.
This is actually the problem. It detects my printers immediately but often fails to print.
Also removing CUPS will break other stuff.
Why is anyone requiring an Apple developed piece of software in Linux these days?
