Printing works out of the box most of the time on Linux. However, if it doesn't work it really doesn't work

That's the problem, then. They keep checking their printer for the printed pages, when they're really coming out of the box.

That's like all the things on Linux haha.

One day my display randomly stopped working. That was a fun week of debugging lol

The only Windows reinstall I've had to do in years was when I unplugged my monitor's integrated USB hub and somehow that completely broke Windows recognizing it.

Linux though? It's typically user error in my case.
