Bought a new brother laser printer (fuck hp inkjet), decided to print something on Windows. Typical Windows could detect the printer even though it shows up in the network section as a device. Downloads and install barebone driver from brother website still refuses to work. Logged in to Linux mint 1 second later “New Brother DCP-L235DW printer has been added”. I wasted more than half an hour trying to print something on Windows and on Linux didn’t even need a single click to configure the printer.
I dont use Linux much, but when it come to Linux it just works without doing anything (atleast on mint).
Just want say how Windows sucks, even my phone was able to print without additional software.
From personal experience both have those moments. A year ago I was using this wifi stick for my PC on Windows, it was working natively, just plug in and there, wifi. On linux, oh boy, spend hours to make it work, eventually found a random driver made by a random user on github that finally worked.
