    Since we are talking about printers, doesn’t CUPS require drivers to be installed? I have an EPSON L3150 & L395 at work and they are the only thing keeping me from installing linux in all the computers.

    So basically I just need to set the print quality to high, and use the scanner. I’ve tried the official DEB drivers in Ubuntu, compiled the source code in Ubuntu & Arch, and nothing works. I can’t set the print quality (the option isn’t even listed when printing/in the printer settings)

    Those epsons have their own scanner program, Epson Scanner or something. Installed from DEB and source, they work only sometimes. Tried skanlite, also sometimes work. Sometimes it detects the scanner, other times it doesn’t.

    Tried using CUPS, it still required me to install the printer drivers.

    Tried generic built-in drivers, don’t work.

    Tried epson-inkjet-printer-escpr from AUR. Doesn’t work.

    All done while having the printer directly connected to the PC. Nothing reliably works.

    How does one even setup IPP? It’s easier to find documentation about the latest JS frontend framework than setting up IPP

    Am i dumb?

    Yeah, I once tried to switch to Kubuntu, wanted my macos style global menu. In arch I just

    yay -S plasma5-applets-window-appmenu

    In Kubuntu, I had to download source and spend 2h compiling, every 5 minutes CMake complained a dependency was missing, searching how the dependency package is called, installing, now another dependency…

    You have to accept to being tracked by Google, having an advertising id, all the data Firebase collects. Their ToS is large.

    Users were asking for it, that’s true. I guess users don’t really care about being tracked, allowing google into their phone and indirectly supporting them controlling the web, thus enabling them to do things like manifest v3 or the web integrity API.

    Ads? understandable, the dev has bills to pay. Not open source? Purists may hate it, but not the end of the world. Tracking? Google? No thanks, the beautiful design is not worth it.

    From my internal IP (192.168.1.xx), I don’t access it from the outside (can’t open ports on residential connection in my country :c )

    All my devices are connected to my own router, then that router connects to my isp router, which then connects to the internet, so its very weird.

    The only thing I configured was reserving an ip address for my server on my router, but I don’t think that should influence…

    TIL I have to manually enable hardware acceleration. Will try it. Still not a good default experience, hope it gets better soon.

    I don’t think its a issue with wayland mode, I tried Xorg/Wayland/Nvidia/Amd/Intel/Arch/Ubuntu, always had that problem.
