This gives me strong Samir! You are breaking the car! vibes.

A “sustained campaign.” An “attack.”

That’s “war.” We call that “war.”

This person is the only one who gets it.

OP isn’t looking for answers. They just want to complain. AND THAT’S FAIR! It is problematic. And it’s okay to vent.

It is a mess. There’s no easy solution or fix. We want there to be but we acknowledge that the strengths of Linux can also be weaknesses at times. It’s a heterogeneous ecosystem maintained be a myriad of volunteers and others and idiosyncrasies are a natural consequence.

We pick our battles. Linux brings so much power, but it’s not without some trade-offs. But we can all agree on one thing …

It’s a hell of a lot better than dealing with Windows.

Brother QL-1110NWB

Works flawlessly on Ubuntu. Even the cut feature. I recall looking at their Linux driver page, but can’t recall if it was even necessary to install it.

Because this is a network-enabled model, it was auto-detected on the network. That makes printing from Android a breeze as well.

I imagine the other Brother models work just as well like the QL-1100.
