Also, to be fair, HP has download link to windows drivers only but they heavily push the windows crapware suite download links on their site.

They probably do but I have a vague work memory of a model of personal printer that forced me to go look through the driverstore folder of another computer with the spyware installed because they didn't offer anything else but their program which couldn't be launched in the env I had to do it in

Yeah, only their "professional" lines are ok.

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.
