From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I think you are the first person to ever have had issues with printers on Linux if you are surprised by them working on Bazzite. Printers are one of the things that almost always "just work" on Linux, and are only a driver headache on Windows
To be fair, the he last time I was daily driving Linux was probably 20 years ago. I only came back in the last ~2 years.
You must have uncanny luck with printers then. The printer I have I bought for it's Linux support and I still have problems.
Across 3 offices and hundreds of PCs literally have never personally seen a issue with printers on Linux that wasnt like I forgot to hook it up to the network or something stupid.
Printers tend to just work.
