From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

GitHub - pdewacht/brlaser: Brother laser printer driver · GitHub https://share.google/S0CHD04Gw22MGMOmi
This will PROBABLY support your laser printer.
Since when is .google a TLD??
Ugh. I try to avoid those share links.
Search 'brlaser'.
Sigh.
Where do those links even come from? Did Google add some "feature" to Android that changes every link you copy?
If you share it from certain browsers or the Google search app, Google injects a redirect link to basically track your activity and who you share it with. More marketing and user tracking bullshit.
