Happy cake day!
If you have .drv file, put them in /usr/share/cups/drv/. If you have .ppd file, go to http://localhost:631 , choose “printers” from top, add new printer, CUPS will give you the option to supply .ppd file.
Hunting down drivers then manually adding printer via CUPS interface is exactly what I did for my Samsung printer. I had to install “splix” and registered my printer via web. Good luck.

It reaches 100C if I play a game or stress the iGPU in another way. I spent a lot of time to fix overheating but lowered only idle and CPU load temps. https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/17su01j/overheating_not_resolved_by_thermal_paste/
If you booted windows right now and played a game would it power off?
The PC does power off when playing on Windows. Sometimes right away, sometimes a few minutes or hours later.
On Windows there is an odd way of throttling which only sometimes triggers and lowers CPU frequency to 1380 MHz. It is bypassable via custom power plan. As I said, it only sometimes triggers. On Linux iGPU is never throttled and CPU is throttled around 97 C to speeds slightly below max MHz. Shutting down is, under normal circumstances, for situations where throttling fails. I have another laptop which successfully throttles and keeps temps below 90C.
I expected WSL instructions. Tyrns out there are instructions for both WSL and bare metal. MS outdid themselves.
I get thermal shutdown warning if I actually stressed the PC. (ie. played a game)
I read a post from Netflix tech blog explaining the selection of a thumbnail. A video has many thumbnails and Netflix picks one for you depending on the shows you watch and your country. From the new profile watch movies / series that are unrelated with romance and the thumbnails should hopefully change.
Doesn’t have a lot of features and at times is a UX disaster due to inclusions of Plasma Mobile components.
This is not mildly infuriating. This is intensely rage inducing.
LO Draw has trouble with editing if PDF has fonts that aren’t installed system wide. They are auto-replaced with another font and texts with unknown fonts may move slightly compared to original document.
I kept Windows “just in case” because it had some sort of fake activated MS Office which I would lose access to if I uninstalled Windows, along with iTunes. I also used an exam website that claimed it wouldn’t work on anything but Windows & Chrome and Mac users would somehow always have problems so I couldn’t take the risk. Guess what, it is just fine on Firefox. (right next to a Windows VM, y’know, just in case) Now I see I could have chosen clean install in the installer and live on.
FYI Windows 11 doesn’t need secure boot enabled, just secure boot available. You can disable it and not deal with the issues in your TED talk post. Even if this is no longer the case, Windows Update enforces hardware requirements only in yearly feature updates. In other words you can enable secure boot only once a year in worst case.
On 2nd PC I will delete everything and install Arch, I should have done that years ago when I initially made the switch. 1st PC is shared so dual boot is the only way.
I am lucky I assume
Appcloud. OneUI is great if you hammer it with ADB the moment you get out from setup. Extra apps like MS stuff and Google stuff are uninstallable. (mostly; Google, Chrome and Youtube may refuse to uninstall) Appcloud needs ADB and it is very annoying.
