I’m following this guide and trying to print anything, a jpeg, a webpage, results in this format page and then 100’s of blank pages.

Why does everything on Linux have to be so hard?!

    Hello. I’m not here to talk about bazzite or printers.

    But I am here to talk about blatant generalization in IT, since I really hate it.

    Why does everything on Linux have to be so hard?!

    This is really an annoying attitude. Especially for people trying to help. It’s also not true - have you recently used your phone or a website? 99% chance it worked just fine and easy with Linux as base. And no, you’re not even talking about Linux but ranting about gpl software you’re interacting with.

    Having options makes things hard sometimes. But you could pick another distro that maybe better caters to your needs.

      You know what an annoying attitude is? “Just switch to Linux” that’s a generalization I’m pretty damn sick of hearing

        Not from me, but that’s an easy evade. But yeah you’re right with that.

        If you want the easy expensive client road, imo go to macos but that has degraded too.

        I’m still playing on windows myself but just because the pain isn’t enough yet and it’s only a gaming client and I’m lazy.

        I love using some Linux distros but it heavily depends on the use case.

        So yeah, do whatever is good for you!
