I miss not having to worry about whether any app or game would be easy to install and work flawlessly.
edit. also printing in general, situation is so dire that I just send whatever I want to print to my phone and print it from there these days.
11 1 ReplyPrinting was horrible on Windows, and Mac uses cups too, no? I've only ever had good experiences printing from Linux

it's funny you bring up printing because my experience has always been better on linux. even at the office i constantly have to resolve issues with the windows and macs but my linux admin station "just works".
