    I installed and ran gentoo in 2005 on a home server that hosted a file sharing repository and php forum for my friends.

    In college I ran Ubuntu on my netbook for programming and internet browsing on.

    Then in 2021 Windows 11 came out and refused to install on my 2017 laptop. So I threw my hands up and installed EndeavorOS in a dual boot configuration. After a few months, EndeavorOS broke my boot with an update. Threw up my hands again and installed Fedora and haven’t had an issue in years.









  • I bought a WiFi Brother printer 3 years ago and had a terrible time with Fedora Linux after Google discontinued Google Print services. I eventually gave up and would ask my partner to print from her Windows machine.

    We now have a WiFi Canon laser printer and I’m printing from phone, Fedora, and USB memory stick with no issues. Never even installed drivers for anything.
