My partner and I are thinking about getting a Brother laser printer for home use in the near future. How difficult is it to get a newer model working in a Linux ecosystem? Are there any specific drivers we should look into installing, if a specific driver isn't available for the model we end up getting? Any advice for connecting it to our network?

EDIT: Thank you all for the feedback! It seems that generally you all have had decent experiences with Brother on Linux, depending on the distro, and that there are resources out there to help with any issues that might come up.

Best distro for Hyprland? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

At risk of sounding like an Arch shill, I've had the best experience with Hyprland on Arch. I first tried to get it working on Garuda but couldn't get it to work without weird issues, then found it wasn't available on Linux Mint (might be available now? Not sure). Worked pretty much out of the box on Arch with Sddm, and havent run into issues since.

That being said I tend to not install many packages, which reduces the chance of things breaking, so your miles may vary.

I think Hyprland might be available on Pop!_OS, might be worth checking that out.

How do I name a community? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

What have you tried so far? I haven't created a community, so I can't say for sure, but I would try something like ForHonor or For_Honor.
