Comment on LibreOffice is right about Microsoft, and it matters more than you think.

Hell, even hitting the windows key on the keyboard and typing the ms name for stuff pops up the relevant linux program. If you didn’t know you were looking at something different, it wouldn’t be obvious for the most part.

Just curious, what brand of printer do you have?
Know_not_Scotty_does@lemmy.world 18 hours ago
Brother. Weirdly, the scanner setup was completely painless and even easier than in wondows.

I’ve got a brother printer as well and it was the only driver I had to hunt down and install. Everything else has worked out of the box (Mint).

I did not even notice putting in a driver for my brother but I use it by usb. Is this more a wireless thing?

No, the generic usb driver wouldn’t work for me. I only was able to get it to print a test page weirdly.
