Hear me out … Embrace the Chromebook easy life.
For your consideration:
Work/Development based?
Gamer?
Otherwise on Fedora, brush up on RPM Fusion.
Because patent encumbrance is fun.
I cooked food for 20 years. Now I build computers and dive down Linux 🐇 🕳️ on a personal learning journey.
Mostly, I cat sit and watch anime when not gaming or editing files.
Fibromyalgia sucks! Existence is pain and resistance is futile. Thanks for noticing me.

CLIphobia is a new one to me.
I have a Brother HL-L2395DW
Tho when I went to add it as a printer, my system automatically selected the “reccomended” drivers on Plasma 6+.
I remember on older Plasma, that you still had to select Brother
first, then search for model type.
At that next screen or if I edit my current printer, I searched for L23
:
By generic printer driver, I meant the cups/driverless one on this selection screen. Opposed to any official Brother
or GutenPrint
drivers/ppd files.
I did try searching for your exact model, but nothing showed for me…tho I can’t tell if that’s because mine is already wireless/UPnP and grabbing only it’s settings.
I’m using the Brother HL-L2395DW series, driverless, 2.0.0
I Just have to also make sure duplex printing is set to on, both system and firefox/application whatever settings.
On Firefox I use Flip on long edge
.
Have you tried using the driverless cups driver tho?
E-waste
I do love my Brother:
And miss the ~2020 pricing! (But it should last a long time)
R.I.P. to my real brother though. Forever 29 because heroin.
As of this post, still happily using the initial starter toner ✅
Me playing with my 7900XTX no issues on Bazzite
Also consider Universal Blue Kinoite or Bazzite:
Think Fedora Kinoite, but with extra goodness.
Miss the AUR? Just spin up an Arch Distrobox with ujust distrobox-arch
and export whatever you want. just
and distrobox are pretty amazing.
Can also do the same with Ubuntu/Debian distroboxes.
Atomic Fedora is amazing.
Have an Nvidia card?
Images also available for Framework and Surface as well.
Wanna make your own IMG?
Wanna focus more on work/development?
What’s your exact hardware?
Did you install with secure boot disabled?
Probably Nouveau issue. ⚠️
For installing Nvidia drivers on Fedora:
Or give Universal Blue a try, take the pain away:
Atomic desktops are cool.
Also available as Bazzite for 🎮:
Or Project Bluefin for 🖥️ dev:
Yea. I stopped reading after “Windows Hello”.
I think most dual booters on Ublu use seperate drives for windows.
And use their BIOS to boot to that drive instead of grub.
If you want a KDE Fedora powered experience I definitely have to suggest Universal Blue Kinoite-main or Bazzite-Desktop. 🤟
Universal Blue project is OCI RPM OSTREE container native, atomic Fedora.
Silverblue/Kinoite/Serica/Onyx, but with extra batteries+codecs+hardware acceleration out of the box.
“Think Chromebook easy, but Fedora.”
Bazzite is pretty amazing 🎮:
Project Bluefin for Developers 🦖:
If you update your normal Fedora system, they should all be running the same kernel.
Sometimes the installers can be stale…you can try installing ISOs from the net installer or nightlies:
Rather… I tried to find links to share… But everything looks to be rawhide… 😕
On atomic side, ublu automatically updates the system image, any layered RPMs as well as flatpaks and other containers/Docker/Podman/Distrobox.
Like Steam OS, if you want to enable -testing channel for updates on Ublu, you can make it more bleeding edge.
Mostly it’s about using room temp water in the pot.
If you use hot water, thinking they will cook faster, that’s the step that will make them gluey for sure.
So start them off in room temp water.
I prefer unpeeled Red Bliss 🥔 myself.
I simmer some milk or cream and butter with some roasted garlic for the real goodness.
Bigger potatoes, chunk em into quarter size.
Definitely peel starchy potatoes.
Waxy ones like Red Bliss or Golden/New Potatoes, I leave the skin on for nutrients/nutrition.
And don’t let them sit in the water after for too long, at least drain them first if you aren’t gonna mash right away before serving.
You didn’t say what CPU you are choosing. 5500X3D and 5700X3D are literally around the corner. But for gaming the 5800X3D would be best in slot for AM4.
You also didn’t say If you live near a Microcenter:
I wonder what % of windows “users” couldn’t even figure out how to burn a windows recovery ISO to a USB, nevermind Linux. Lol.
I kid. But also curious.
I use Bazzite BTW:
I love Universal Blue.
It’s OCI cloud image based Fedora Silverblue/Kinoite/Serica with extra steps/batteries included.
“The reliability of a Chromebook, but with the flexibility and power of a traditional Linux desktop.”
But also probably an easier way for Nvidia Fedora
users to game on Linux:
Easily roll back deployments or 📌 one and rebase to something else easy peasy. (So many different choices) Test betas with no fear!
I’ve actually been gaming on Bazzite for two weeks now:

If you wanna simply make your own image to share with friends/family:
Universal Blue isn’t a distro. It’s more of a reimplementation/enhancement of Immutable OCI Cloud Based Images of Fedora.
Does anyone know anything about owncast?
I like Gorilla Drives because they are waterproof and can even survive being ran over by trucks etc. 🦍 Also temperature safe from freezing and melting-ish.
Also you should definitely checkout Ventoy.
Can have multiple ISOs for Linux distros or eck 🪟 s. Toss in some recovery tools or images like clonezilla/rescuezilla.
Leftover space is still USB mass storage. Can drag and drop files etc.
I’m simply a fan of their literall durability/resistance.
Are there faster drives? Perhaps.
But I like the security of mine working fine even in the event my pocket gets super sweaty or if I accidentally leave my keychain in direct sunlight on a summer day.
Or in my pocket when it’s 32°F outside at winter time when I’m shoveling etc.
That’s the best part.
Meanwhile on grad is simply, litterly sharing/screenshoting/documenting the hate you and your community spew.
You came full circle and admitted it. Way to go.
If you believe anything you write or say on discord is private. Or would ever even be encrypted, I want whatever you’re smoking please.
