. You can use the Open Printing website to look up a printer's Linux compatibility. https://openprinting.org/printers You can also select a manufacturer, and the website will categorize each printer from that manufacturer into one of these categories: - Perfectly - Mostly - Partially - Paperweight Looks like there is much more support for printers since android phones took off. I've been using HP laser printers in Linux for 15-ish years. Back then they were one of the few that actually provided drivers, so I have stuck with them.

. The Back Shed is a great resource for DIY off-the-grid electrical power generation. I have been following this website for about ten years. It's got a ton of good info. Did you know that the new front load washer motors make great windmill power generators? This website focuses on the Fisher and Paykal top-loader motor, which is the same design that all the new front loaders copied, so those 3-Phase motors are very common now. This is the the "Projects and Information" page: https://www.thebackshed.com/windmill/Contents.asp

. Linux and open-source software needs electricity to run, so YES, this is related to freeing yourself from the grips of big tech. 😜😉 See comments for some great off-grid resources #DIY_Electricity #Off_Grid_Power

. WANT TO TRY UBUNTU TOUCH ON A PHONE? These are the basic steps for installing Ubuntu Touch on a phone: 1. Go to the UBPorts devices website and see if your phone is supported: https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/enchilada/ 2. Select your device in the list. Each device has a "progress bar" for how well the phone is supported. (See video for an example of how it looks in a skinny browser window) 3. Once your device is selected you can scroll down to see which features work on your device, and which ones don't. 4. If you are satisfied with your device support, scroll down to the "How to install" section and download the UBPorts Installer for your OS. 5. Run the UBPorts Installer and follow the instructions. 6. This link (provided courtesy of Dale Gribble) has instructions on how to use the UBPorts Installer. (WARNING!: You CAN brick your phone! Proceed at your own risk!) https://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/install-ubuntu-touch-on-your-android-device/
