I never really see hardware lacking Linux support mentioned, which got me caught by surprise when a computer with a Broadcom network card couldn’t use the card. What other hardware don’t work with Linux?

    Brother printers have a good reputation in the linux world. Not sure what the current status is… My printer is over 15 yrs old

      I bought a new one recently. Apparently they’re doing a subscription thing now, so look closely at which model you’re buying. But other than that, it works just the same as my old one.

      I bought a Brother colour laser last year (which on the outside looks identical to the monochrome one I bought 17 years ago that lives with my parents), zero issues, which pretty much has been my experience with printers on linux (also tried a ~5 y/o & 25 y/o HP LaserJet, one being the cheapest thing I’ve ever used, other being old office equipment, think I tried the Epson ecotank and photo printer my mil has as well)
