I’ve noticed a general sentiment that printing on Linux is (or at least was) extremely cumbersome and difficult. Why is that?

      I did have a weird issue with my printer under nix, turns out it was a bug. I guess 1h time investment is about right.

      But that also meant that my Laptop and my GF’s PC were a 0 seconds time investment.

      I think that’s neat :D

        No, it is highly reproducible. I think the idea of Nix OS isn’t bad. I actually looked into it for Samba as deploying software on Nix is easy. The problem is that it doesn’t scale well.
