      Almost like the point of that OS is to know about everything that’s going on in your system because you put it all there yourself, piece by piece!

      A blessing for the privacy-oriented and the people who want to learn about everything.

      A curse for people who just want their computer to work.

        Exactly 😅

        I used to use Arch too but I switched to Fedora because everything I installed manually was just installed by default already there. Also nice to be able to update my system from GNOME Software.

      Yep, had to do that and spend hours reading about printing services in Linux and other OSs out of curiosity. Was very useful, not that I remember any of it now.

      Many distros leave printing support out by default these days. It is just not something everybody needs anymore.
