From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Good printers? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

Looking for a new printer. My new HP Inkjet is a piece of fucking garbage and I'm going to smash it to pieces in my driveway.

Looking for something with good Linux support, and as little proprietary online HP-type bullshit as possible. Also, should I get a laser printer?

I know people say Brother, and I believe they are right. But around me Brother is just not that popular and didn't want to risk it for future support, so I got cheapest wifi enabled HP laser available here (M111W), works without problem on Gentoo, Mint and Android. Hardest to setup was gf's Windows. Works over USB cable and wifi.

I might regret it later, but currently it is working. If I could try out Brother, I would. Also their website is not clear about specifications of cheap models, so I decided agains it.

And don't take injets, those are awful.
