uh huh, acting on the Zeroeth Law for benefiting humanity as a whole rather than some subset of humans, R. Daneel Olivaw slowly irradiated earth to drive humans into the galaxy which caused immense suffering and death to billions of humans.

An Asimov robot would help raise Adolf's 3rd kingdom to redraw the globe to be better for future humans.

so what are the most popular distros? Ubuntu, around for 20+ years, Linux Mint which is just Ubuntu with some lipstick, and both of those are just Debian with lipstock around for 30+ years.

Don't see what you're whining about, are you easily distracted by the version of the month? Just use one with huge userbase that has been around for decades, problem solved. If you don't like those Debian derived ones I mentioned then use Fedora or OpenSLES, also around for decades..

there is no problem.

My hp laser printer/copier/scanner is 17 years old and going strong. Why do you buy garbage that needs replaced every few years and with ink cartridges too? that's costs way more money than what I spent, I'm still on the original toner cartridges though black is down to 10% now, might need replaced in two years?

You have funny notion about 2015 and before printers. Printers had USB, ethernet and wifi in 2015 and before. Long before, 2010 the plug and play USB came out, ones with ethernet even older.

My HP multifunctional laser print/scan/copier thing is older than 2015 and going strong with usb/ethernet/wireless, in fact back then they put thousands of pages of toner in the cartridges so even the black is at 10% now. Time to think about replacing that for the first time ever but the other color are at 40%-50%

Generic postscipt often leaves behind fine control so pictures might look jagged, duplexing not working, transparency problems, color management not possible, margins cutting things off and not properly controllable.
