I started using Ubuntu at work with version 18.00. It worked without a hitch. Then, it updated to 20.00, and printing broke. I tried multiple “solutions” and none of them worked for my case. For literal years, I had to go to the front desk and print my shit there on the Mac which always printed without issue. Thankfully, in my case I don’t print that much so it wasn’t a huge problem, but I know for some that would be a complete deal breaker.
Cue version 22.00, and printing works again, albeit not always. My jobs get canceled periodically for no reason I can ascertain.
I had similar issues back in the mid-00s with a laptop I was trying to run Ubuntu 6.00 on. It mostly worked, but the webcam and trackpad were a lost cause to someone of my moderate abilities.
It’s shit like this that hold Linux back. I’ve been running some form of Windows since 95, and I’ve never had unsolvable hardware problems with it.
