From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Looking for a new printer. My new HP Inkjet is a piece of fucking garbage and I'm going to smash it to pieces in my driveway.

Looking for something with good Linux support, and as little proprietary online HP-type bullshit as possible. Also, should I get a laser printer?

My Canon laser printer works fine on Linux. I have had trouble setting up custom paper size, but I have made it work. Unfortunately, I distro hop a lot, and feel too lazy to try setting it up again.

I bought a $80 refurbished HP laser printer m15w on eBay and I love it.. prints fasts, toner lasts long and his cheap too... It has wireless but I plug it using USB to avoid having to install any HP software

Anything brother. I have never had a single problem with my two brothers. I had an hp inkjet not too long ago and it was the most Godawful ass backwards device I have ever used
