People who spend half their free time troubleshooting a simple driver install on their OS need to feel like it’s worth it, hence they justify it by their sense of superiority. Sunk cost.
“Driver install” is mainly a windows thing. Linux ships with drivers that just work out of the box for nearly everything, with the only notable exception being Nvidia‘s proprietary drivers. However, every distro streamlines the installation process for that since it’s so common (And Nvidia is slowly moving towards open source anyways)
The first time you connect a printer to your linux machine and you find that it just fucking works is when you will see the light.
Not only does my printer work out of the box, my cheapo printer has quality picture prints with CUPS+Gutenprint, Epson is legit cutting the quality in software by a mile, just to sell more expensive ones.
I looked through and tried everything, i only got a handful of options with the trash driver on Windows or the Android app anyway, so misconfiguration is impossible.
