I've noticed a general sentiment that printing on Linux is (or at least was) extremely cumbersome and difficult. Why is that?

That's not been my experience.

Granted, printers suuuuuck. But I was legit surprised when both the printing and scanning functions in Linux were hands down better than windows.

SAME. Everything prints faster and worked well from day one.

Same! I'm not at my computer at the moment so I can't check the name of the scanning app i use but yeah, works perfectly. I use a Brother printer as well which I also can't remember the model name of.

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.
