I haven’t used Windows in about 3 years, so I may be out of date, but in my experience, Ubuntu and its derivatives work easier with scanners and printers. For me and my printer-scanner combo, I literally just have to place it and the Linux desktop on the same network/WiFi. I don’t even have to add the printer-scanner. The OS finds it in the background on its own. It confused me the first time it happened because like you, I had wearisome issues in the past. Last I used Windows, I had to tell the OS to search for the printer and find the drivers for it myself online. Now, it’s installed before I open up printers on my OS.

a backup is to bridge WhatsApp with Matrix and use Element on your phone

Any recommendations on where to start learning how to set up a bridge like that?

exactly. i thought Biden was the shit until Gaza. now, I dont even care about him at all. he’s just another politician.
