My migration to Linux Mint coincided with getting a Brother Laser printer (DCP-L3520CDW) and I've had zero issues with text, photos or scanning. I just fired up the Brother and Mint said "oh, you've got a printer, wanna use it?"

Yes they have facial recognition, the cameras are visible but you don't notice them.

Old British person here, I was always taught double quotation marks for speech and single quotation marks for actually quoting something.

Relatively new full-time Linux user here. My first experience of using Linux was Knoppix. I had it on cd-rom to troubleshoot Windows, got into media servers and xbmc, so had a few OpenElec machines. Now have Mint as a daily driver.

So the family and I are on holiday in Greece and we're on a bus ride to see some place and we go through a long tunnel. I naturally go "oooooooooooooo" as we enter. My family look at me in shame, the rest of the passengers just look...
