From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I agree with the wireless being solved part, but printers still suck lol
Brother laser printers last for years without issue. My point was that so long as you put in a little effort to find something that isn't cheap shit you can actually get a product without any major issues.
Cheap wireless earbuds will fail, and will cause all sorts of frustration. On the other hand, well sourced earbuds will work for years without problems, just like printers.
Fair, I also have a brother laser printer and have never had issues. I was in IT Support for many years and boy were printers ever a problem.
Even cheap ear buds / headphones and mice these days seem to be perfectly stable wireless though. They may break physically or just have shitty performing hardware, but the wireless part itself has been pretty good these days
