When was the last time you tried any of that on linux? Printers have been plug and play(which is impressive considering the hoops I had to jump through on windows) and with advent of proton, there's been no game I've played that's had any issues

It has been a few years to be fair. However, back when I ran into the issue people said the same thing.

I might try it on one of my older laptops which are in the closet.
