yt-dlp and PeerTube.

Systems with exposed SSHd, but also properly configured, are also not at risk.

Install Ubuntu and be done. I'm able to print to my brother network printer with no special drivers. I installed a gnome tweaks package to do some minor tweaks in gnome, and I did rip out the Firefox snap thing to install Firefox from a package so I could use my kpxc plugin, but that's the only major change I made. Hell, Dell (laptop) even provides firmware updates via the package manager so your bios gets updated properly. Best Linux desktop experience I've ever had over the past 5 years and I've been daily driving Ubuntu since 2004.

OS/2 was the first multitasking operating system I ever used. Ran my RemoteAcces BBS on it. I might have to do a site backup just to be nostalgic.

I was thinking more along the lines of Megasquirt, but for a printer.

We need a properly-open sourced printer at this point.

Not enough info. Those are two different things.

Neat

Just boys being boys! Smoking, snapping each other on the ass with wet towels, comparing Nixon portrait tattoos on our nether regions, etc.

Don't worry, this was just locker room murder talk. NBD!

It's an entirely closed source, proprietary codebase, run by a for-profit company where you have little control over anything. These corporations don't care about actual users and they will leave you high and dry. There is a reason people still use IRC - it's open, easy to connect to and has been around for literal decades. Remember CompuServe? AOL? AIM? ICQ? Google Chat shutting it's doors to xmpp? If so, you understand the pattern. It's about walled gardens and blocking interoperability. The industry doesn't need more of that. We are chatting on an open source link aggregation site because bean counters at Reddit decided to shut off APIs to existing apps arbitrarily.

The matrix stack solves most of those problems by providing an open source codebase and protocol, easy to connect to solution that is akin to Slack. I am fortunate enough to not have to use discord much beyond checking on a class schedule and downloading some sheet music, so I will never be a discord power user. Maybe some there is crazy awesome feature that discord provides that no open source platform does, but I have some serious doubts about that.

Matrix stack would be the 21st century equivalent. Discord is just another Skype - entirely a proprietary product that you don't operate yourself. Fine for corporate use where people don't care about longevity because it's not their problem or interest, but trash for everything else.
