I don't have issues with Nvidia drivers in Archlinux (using cinnamon and X) after pacman updates that sometimes update kernel and/or Nvidia drivers, I'm curious what's different in your setup to get these issues Also, how are the graphics drivers affecting LUKS for you? They are two independent and unrelated things for me, Nvidia drivers aren't doing anything disk or pam related > If they have a printer, connect it and show them how to print a page. This however is the thing that doesn't "just work" for me, even with a common hp printer. The one time in a year you need to use the printer, something will have broken about its drivers again in Linux. I just transfer the pdf to the printer with a USB stick now

Same here; I have had crazy hardware work out of the box in linux, but printers remain a mystery. Furthermore, last time I tried printing, it was a surreal non-deterministic process. It wouldn't print, then it would, then it would get stuck in a handshake or something, rebooting wouldn't fix it, but rebooting twice would, then turning off the printer would break it again, and so on. No system update in between attempts. I genuinely want to know what the fuck the engineers for those machines are doing. [Disclaimer: in the above process there was the extra hurdle that the printer was one of several on a local university network that may also have had cooky configuration]

  It’s really surprising how printing from a Mac or iPhone just works. The foss people screwed up printing somehow.
