Fortunately I rarely have to print anything so it isn’t a major issue if it doesn’t. Trivia: the BlueTooth functions, but with the usual ‘hiccups’ and dropouts. Another inessential feature as far as I’m concerned.

When I was still with IBM, we were forced (by some marketing guy, can you believe it?) to dump Ubuntu which they officially supported for a while, or Debian which they never did – so the choice was to have either RHEL or Fedora, the second one not being officially supported… so in the company I stayed with RHEL…
But whenever I tried to love Fedora in a VM at home I was put off by these little (or sometimes big) things, so I’m a Debian and now partly Arch guy… no luck with “Enterprise” operating systems, they don’t care for single end users too much, while the Debian folks invite you to their devs’ meetings (and make you one as well in case you have the time for it) ;)
Finally I can make screencasts with Wayland and OBS if I’d like or need to, but all these distros including Debian went to that one way too fast IMO…
