When my current portable computer needs replacing, I'll be replacing it with a Linux/Wine capable computer. There is no way I'm buying any computer with a Windows Op system newer than Win7.

My wife bought one of those new laptops that came with Windows 10 on it (Toshiba something or other) and then asked me to help her set it up. After 2 frustrating days, I got it to working good enough for her to use. (she doesn't game), but never could get it to recognize an Epson Stylus C88+ printer. I even called Epson for help with a stand alone driver and they said they don't support standalone drivers anymore. They have to be loaded thru Windows 10. That does it for Epson also. I presume I'll have to shop/buy a printer supported by standalone drivers for a computer running Linux/Wine?
