Though I've been using #Linux 'almost' exclusively for the past yearish, I'd never hooked up a printer. I dug out my inkjet, then buckled in for what I assumed would be a PITA. After wasting 40 min roaming around the internet looking for drivers and such, I thought maybe I should actually check my system first. Lo and behold, #Zorin had immediately picked up the damn thing and had it ready to go the entire time. Duh. Yes, #Windows hostages, Linux really can be just as easy to use. 🙄😑

@DukeDuke When I first switched to Linux I was into Clone Hero, using it with my Wii Guitar. On Windows I needed a specific Bluetooth stack and two different software to connect it. Had heard the horror stories of Linux compatibility so was dreading trying to connect my Wiitar. I decided to try it on the default KDE Bluetooth app and it simply connected and recognised it as a Wiimote. Launched Clone Hero and it simply worked! Turns out Linux has native support for Wiimote. I actually laughed.
