For a second there I thought you were hating on the guy.

sudo pacman -Syu --needed cups system-config-printer avahi nss-mdns foomatic-{db,db-{engine, nonfree}}

sudo systemctl enable --now cups.socket avahi-daemon.service

Edit nss-mdns

Rebooting after helps if it doesn't find the printer right away.

Yeah, they could puppet the chrome company if the courts don't keep a close eye on it. Basically there's a good chance it would be another Firefox but with way more influence.

Isn't it already licensed under permissive Apache v2? Anyone can fork and carry on the project without the permission of Google, every manufacturer already does as a result of the license.

Yeah, we have four in my town and none of them sell dairy products. I've heard they've been pressured to provide healthier options with some success.

Cool, dollar general only sells dry goods and not enough of a variety to cover basic food groups. There are no vegetables, proteins, or dairy products unless you include hot pockets.

Rural American should be able to access more than frozen meals and junk food so stop being a prick. None should suffer from malnutrition and elevated crime rate.

I know, I'm one of them😆🤙. I try not to be annoying though, hope you didn't take it wrong. Edit: sorry, though this was a comment on my response to someone being weird about rust.

If anyone truly cares about the community and want people to switch. They need to be understanding and willing to accept the fact some people have good reasons not to switch. Being pushy or insulting isn't going to win them back and will most likely sour their perception of linux.

I remember how much hate I got for using an Nvidia graphics card on linux. I also remember helping other people get Linux running on their graphics cards. There were so many toxic individuals that would scold new users for "supporting Nvidia, that evil company" despite the fact most people switching from windows probably already owned that Nvidia card.

There were also others that long since given up because of all the hate they received. I want that to be uncommon and thankfully it seems to be more the case nowadays.

It's a dumb reason to get banned from an instance. I don't see anything wrong with making an observation other programmers have already made. Thanks for the warning though.

Just switch over, if you like! I want you to feel comfortable with the decision and feel motivated to give it a good shot.

If it's not for you, I understand. Maybe in a few years it'll be a better fit but it's no rush.

I don't know, they're just security measures you can take. Maybe some personal preference thing. I don't bother with the app guard thing and SELinux is pretty annoying with my Nvidia graphics card but a firewall is something I always setup.

Firewalled for limiting untrustworthy connections to the computer(public networks, hotels, even work).

apparmor for protecting the kernel and controlling file access to applications. SELinux is also a good option but if you need to load kernel modules, it can take a few minutes to sign and register it. It is automated on redhat systems though.

Other than that, do your research and don't run random scripts and install random apps.
