@rogueren ok, I will bite ;)
I will happily switch to Linux as soon as installing print drivers is as easy as on Windows. And to be honest: Word and Excel far exceeds Libreoffice. So for now I will keep running Linux on servers and Windows on desktops :)

@fere @rogueren what is this “installing print drivers” you are talking about?

I've just bought a new printer, I've connected it to the local network (not even to the computer), and the print dialog was showing it, with full supports for its various features, no installation required

(I'm not sure what would happen for scanners: the one I have is just a printer, and the scanner I have is pretty old (and does require installing a couple of packages from the distribution))

@valhalla @rogueren because judging by the replies here I have an old printer, and my Ubuntu laptop did not recognize it. Trying to follow the vendor insrructions it said I should download some package and just compile it. After an hour or 2 of trying I just moved on. Linux just isn't for me 🙂

@fere @rogueren fair!
