replyManufacturers selling Linux computers could attach little stickers with ""As long as..." Inside", to commemorate the official motto of "The Year of the Linux Desktop", for the last 30 years. :P
Something like those eMachines "never obsolete" stickers - always current year because this year is The Year of Linux on the Desktop.
replyTbh all OSs handle printers that way. Ones that have drivers “just work.” It’s just that if you buy any printer in the store you can be assured that if it isn’t on that list of drivers that ships with the OS, there will be a driver for Windows and Mac from the manufacturer. You don’t get that assurance automatically with another OS.
replyFor the most part, to support Macs and iOS devices they just support AirPrint and don’t ship with drivers at all
replyWindows ships with a universal IPP driver that works for any printer which is Mopria certified; similar to AirPrint.
replyThere's very little reason to install print drivers anymore on Windows.
