I am thinking about switching from Windows to Debian 12 Bookworm

Linux@lemmy.ml – 87 points – 1 years ago

I used Ubuntu in my college for some light programming and felt really happy about it.

I am more interested in switching to Debian 12 than Ubuntu, since the former is really stable. Also, I came to know installing Debian is easier since it supports non free firmware.

It would be nigh impossible to list all the hardware Bookworm is able to support. What are you looking to run it on? Anything obscure?

I think my laptop is 7 or 8 years old. I have an HP printer which I use. Will my printer work ?

You're almost certainly fine. Check the Live DVD, but I'd bet it works seamlessly.

HP actively supports their printers in Linux. Debian 12 is not listed though, only 11.
