Picked up a refurb Dell laptop yesterday to put Linux on it. Went rapidly from Fedora with KDE Plasma, to Pop, before settling on Mint.

I got the Linux machine to PRINT something on my network printer. Without even having to curse at it or download anything. Linux has come a very long way since I last tried using it a decade ago.

It took 3 years on the Fediverse before I fell down the Linux rabbithole. You lot are a bunch of bad influences.

#Linux #LinuxMint

@BritishKoalaTea Congrats! And yes, it has come a long way (speaking as someone who first made the jump in 2005). Even just in the past couple of years, there have been improvements (like... using our document scanners over the LAN, instead of having to connect directly).

(Warning: Linux is a gateway drug to socialism!!! 💀 ...speaking as one of the Bad Influencers, of course.)
