I have the exact opposite experience. It always prints and although it only prints about 6 pages per minute, it starts immediately. However, I have an old-ish HP laser printer without the crappy adware.
My next printer will not be a HP for that reason.
Tuxedo OS, as preinstalled on my Tuxedo machine. It is just a heavily tweaked Ubuntu flavor with Plasma as a default desktop and sane defaults (firefox not as a snap, but as a .deb file). Everything worked so well out of the box that I did not see the point in installing Arch. I also love the fact that Plasma is kept very much up to date. In comparison, Kubuntu 24.04 still has Plasma 5., whereas I currently run 6.1.4.
Do you trust apple with their claims?
No. I inherently distrust trillion dolllar tech companies in poorly regulated economies. They are able to get away with a lot of crap and they know it. That’s how the Cult of Apple works. I would not be surprised when they violate their own privacy policy knowingly and structurally.
I bought a Tuxedo two years ago. They have affordable (and highly configurable) Linux laptops, some of which are aimed at gamers.
It somewhat sounds like ‘Ace of Spades’. I am a bit old school. If I hear the name Lemmy, I am reminded of Motorhead.
I hate that kind of not-invented-here syndrome. The project I am helping develop is partly open source and has its own server-side framework, its own ORM and its own typescript based framework. Community-wise we are dead in the water, because nobody wants to adopt to the own frameworks.
Incidentially, I used OpenERP5, which is an early predecessor of Odoo. I hated the interface with every fiber of my being. Due to some custom development, we were not able to upgrade to more modern versions.
cups + hplip . The hplip package is probably key.
