Screenshot 3 months in and i love it in here

Everything just feels so easy and looks so good, if it weren't for FL Studio I'd stay only on Linux.

As a little anecdote, my dad brought to me like 2 months ago a 20 years old printer he found randomly and no matter how many drivers and solutions I tried, it simply didn't work on his Windows. I nearly called it quits and accepted the defeat on his behalf, but before going to sleep I wanted to try it on my laptop with Fedora.

Of course it didn't work first try, but after I ran a simple command I found online, it worked like a charm. I couldn't believe my eyes how easy that was, like plug and play, so now my dad has a virtual machine on his Windows with Fedora xD

Feel free to ask any questions!

I stuck with Fedora precisely for its low drama. Things worked without me thinking of it.

right, and even when there were problems, i managed to tweak things that i didn't knew i could modify

on windows i couldn't even choose what to have installed and what not

Different approaches to the platform. Microsoft is a for profit company and Windows is the platform for it.

It’s the view of the city I went to college in

Funnily enough, soon after I took the photo I moved out of that city and I never plan on living there anytime soon 🥲

What was that command?

u/xndrr87 1d ago

it was sudo dnf install splix, it was on the tip of my tongue

u/xndrr87 1d ago

I forgot honestly but it was something simple, just sudo dnf install and something starting with s but I can’t find it anywhere for some reason

u/Take_Five_005 1d ago

OK, no worries. Thanks

You could run dnf history list in the terminal and see if it comes up

u/xndrr87 1d ago

I’ll try that, thanks

If you're talking about what's shown in OP's terminal, it's either fastfetch or neofetch. So you install with sudo dnf install fastfetch or sudo dnf install neofetch and then just enter fastfetch or neofetch in your terminal.

No, it's the command that made that old printer work.

u/PerfectlyIllegal 1d ago

Ah. I read OP's post twice before I replied to you and it didn't even register. I'm an dumbass
