I'm following this guide and trying to print anything, a jpeg, a webpage, results in this format page and then 100's of blank pages.

Why does everything on Linux have to be so hard?!

So I keep hearing this phrase "this isn't going to work on bazzite" in your opinion, what OS would you hear that with the least? I don't care about immutability, I just got that because this is my fiancee's PC and I wanted it to be easy for her

What's the most widely compatible Linux OS?

I'm not an expert but Fedora or Mint.

Bazzite is more suited for gaming than general use, as I understand it.

Thanks I'll give mint a try on my laptop

Bazzite is atomic fedora with steam and other stuff installed. If you like it try fedora with a KDE desktop otherwise mint should be good too. If you want a non atomic gaming distro I hear cachy is great but that is arch based not fedora. I personally use bazzite for my home theatre/gaming rig and it has been fantastic

In my experience fedora has just worked more than Ubuntu, I don't remember if I tried mint

On Linux, it is just more important that guides be written for the distro you are using or at least related ones. So, more popular long-standing distros just end up with more guides or better documentation.
