I miss not having to worry about whether any app or game would be easy to install and work flawlessly.
edit. also printing in general, situation is so dire that I just send whatever I want to print to my phone and print it from there these days.

Printing was horrible on Windows, and Mac uses cups too, no? I've only ever had good experiences printing from Linux
-
macOS still uses cups. It's deprecated but still functional. The alternative is to use AirPrint or get fucked.
-
Doesn't AirPrint go through CUPS?
-
Sorry, I misspoke. CUPS itself is not deprecated, only most of its old functionality regarding drivers.
From
man cups:CUPS printer drivers, backends, and PPD files are deprecated and will no longer be supported in a future feature release of CUPS

it's funny you bring up printing because my experience has always been better on linux. even at the office i constantly have to resolve issues with the windows and macs but my linux admin station "just works".
-
Same here. Both of my printers just work on Linux without any bullshit, while on Windows they each require separate software from the manufacturers
