    Printers suck universally, no matter the OS. It’s something everyone can agree on.

    I had the opposite experience, I couldn’t find drivers on Linux for my old Audio Interface (M Audio) from the 2000s but I was able to find an installer for windows on some website and ran just fine on Windows 10. This isn’t even the issue with old tech, if I can’t find drivers (on either OS) for a 15 years old Audio interface, it’s not the end of the world, I just have to accept it. What I find troublesome is sometimes getting modern hardware to work on Linux, especially something that was never designed to work on it.

      I don’t want to discredit this argument as many Linux advocates do - the ecosystem does matter. So if you have hardware whose manufacturer only provides Windows drivers or software that only runs on Windows that’s a killer argument, period.

      Still, it’s on par with not moving away from Reddit because it has more content. Also true, but maybe you are just sick of their bullshit.
