Bought a new brother laser printer (fuck hp inkjet), decided to print something on Windows. Typical Windows could detect the printer even though it shows up in the network section as a device. Downloads and install barebone driver from brother website still refuses to work. Logged in to Linux mint 1 second later “New Brother DCP-L235DW printer has been added”. I wasted more than half an hour trying to print something on Windows and on Linux didn’t even need a single click to configure the printer.
I dont use Linux much, but when it come to Linux it just works without doing anything (atleast on mint).
Just want say how Windows sucks, even my phone was able to print without additional software.
Well silly, you need that extra stuff for windows so they know what you’re printing so they can advertise correctly to you. Think of the corporations!!
Linux is awesome and everyday I’m happier I dumped windows for good.
