Obviously I disagree with your main point, but, considering I have been a Linux only user (in my personal life) for over a decade, it's only natural that I would consider it easy to use and intuitive, as such, I won't even try to argue against that assertion.

With that said, if you want to make a point against something just working, you may want to choose something other than printers as evidence of how bad Linux is. Printers are universally terrible on every OS.

Anecdotally, I have had far fewer issues with printers on Linux than I have had with printers on Windows. But, most of the "tech support" I do for printers is from people who are arguably tech illiterate and using Windows. So, I'd again consider that a wash that doesn't really add weight to either side of the argument.

tl;dr: printers are universally terrible and we should all stop using them anyway

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
