Is there a lightweight FOSS printer driver for standard old USB Laserjets?

Every Windows since 3.1 had instant plugnplay with any HP Laserjet. The HPLIP driver takes several minutes to download and install, and then I have to reinstall it every time I print a week later. Is there any lightweight basic FOSS driver for Linux, such as the HP Universal Print Driver (UPD) for Windows?

M0E-lnx (VectorLinux): I think most would agree that the linux desktop has evolved a lot [...] We are at the point where it's almost impossible to build a relevant linux without some systemd component. Systemd is now entangled into places you would never expect to see it.

Clustering a full Linux OS across multiple Raspberry Pi’s

Just thinking aloud here. Being that we have full blown docker images with complete Linux OS support, how would this look on something like the following:

4 Pi’s (arbitrary number)
Running Kubernetes (maybe, this may not be the right solution)
Running a docker Linux image

Could you present a shell to a user, and somehow have all 4 Pi’s act as a cohesive OS? The intent would be that the user was no more the wiser to this division of labor, but was able to capitalize on more hardware capabilities. To the user, it would just look like he/she has:

16 USB ports (4 per Pi)
4 GbE ports
16G of RAM (assuming 4 per Pi)
Etc.

Is there a platform that is already able to accomplish something like this? For background, I’ve never used Kubernetes for multiple machines.

Let's talk Linux & common methods! All suggestions appreciated!

Hey everyone! So I'm sure you've all heard this before, and I'm sure it's beyond simple, so just try to bare with me.

I've been looking at Linux and different distros for a little while now. Over the past months I was more concerned with switching from being a windows user for my entire life, to something new. I'm beyond ready to do so, especially after having to reformat and wipe my entire device due to a recent severe malware attack. The only things on my PC now are default factory programs. I was looking for a good guide or the best method of running a Linux OS on my PC. My thought now is dual booting, but wanted to hear some pros and cons from people who have tried this and other methods. Any and all help is much appreciated. Looking for more of a step by step guide being that it's all new to me.

Boot Debian / Linux on a USB stick

Hi there,

I have been using a USB 3.0 stick with 64Gb as a portable debian for a long time.

So far everything works well, even with the encryption there are no problems. The only problem is that the system or individual applications often freeze. It then takes a short moment, or a minute, for the system to continue running at this point. The main effect occurs when I start new applications or transfer data. So I assume that it is due to the read / write access to the stick. With an SSD via a USB3.0 adapter, I don't have these problems, so it works like on a built-in SSD.



My question now: Is this a general problem with booting via a USB stick or is it more due to my stick and I should buy a new one?



Thank you for your advice and experience.

Turning an old Windows Netbook into a Linux computer

I am having an old Netbook, Asus Eee PC 1000HE, specifications can be seen here: [https://www.cnet.com/products/asus-eee-pc-1000he/specs/](https://www.cnet.com/products/asus-eee-pc-1000he/specs/) and want to turn that one into a Linux computer, but being no expert (although with some experience in Raspbian) I have no idea how to proceed. Any advice will be greatly appreciated as I'll have a lot of fun with a Linux Netbook and this Windows crab is of no use to me at all (and extremely slow anyway).
