Brother printer questions (kbin.social)

My partner and I are thinking about getting a Brother laser printer for home use in the near future. How difficult is it to get a newer model working in a Linux ecosystem? Are there any specific drivers we should look into installing, if a specific driver isn't available for the model we end up getting? Any advice for connecting it to our network?

EDIT: Thank you all for the feedback! It seems that generally you all have had decent experiences with Brother on Linux, depending on the distro, and that there are resources out there to help with any issues that might come up.

The only other Superconductor news that I can think of recently involved Ringa Dias, who has had to retract a couple of his papers. I can't find anything about this team having retracted papers regarding Superconductors.

Best distro for Hyprland? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

At risk of sounding like an Arch shill, I've had the best experience with Hyprland on Arch. I first tried to get it working on Garuda but couldn't get it to work without weird issues, then found it wasn't available on Linux Mint (might be available now? Not sure). Worked pretty much out of the box on Arch with Sddm, and havent run into issues since.

That being said I tend to not install many packages, which reduces the chance of things breaking, so your miles may vary.

I think Hyprland might be available on Pop!_OS, might be worth checking that out.

How do I name a community? in c/[email protected]

What have you tried so far? I haven't created a community, so I can't say for sure, but I would try something like ForHonor or For_Honor.

Are you thinking design your own RPG system, or design an adventure using a pre-existing system?

I'd love to join a community like that, but I'm getting a 404 when I follow that link. I also couldn't find it when searching on lemmy. Any advice would be appreciated!
