The key thing it brought me that's priceless is a single, uniform, 100% consistent muscle memory interface for maintaining and switching tabs/panes.</p><p>However since I moved to <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/wezterm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wezterm</span></a> which I just adore and which is totally cross platform (Even works like a champion under <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/windows365" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>windows365</span></a> <br> and makes an outstanding <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/WSL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WSL</span></a> host!)</p><p>I'm wondering if I can achieve the same effect without much of the faff.</p><p>pueue sounds great for a whole variety of tasks. I will definitely check it out! I currently use tmux and/or screen for running docker compose up and the like and being able to observe the output.</p>

Till Kamppeter<p>A big problem on Windows is that hardware support gets discontinued after a few years, so many printers go to the trash because there is no driver in the new Windows version.</p><p>But under Linux, printer drivers are conserved, so a Linux print server, here on a Raspberry Pi is a solution:</p><p><a href="https://hackaday.com/2024/06/13/raspberry-pi-saves-printer-from-junk-pile/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">hackaday.com/2024/06/13/raspbe</span><span class="invisible">rry-pi-saves-printer-from-junk-pile/</span></a></p><p>Or Printer Applications under WSL, so no extra hardware needed:</p><p><a href="https://hackaday.com/2024/06/13/raspberry-pi-saves-printer-from-junk-pile/#comment-6767443" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">hackaday.com/2024/06/13/raspbe</span><span class="invisible">rry-pi-saves-printer-from-junk-pile/#comment-6767443</span></a></p><p>We are sustainable!</p><p><a href="https://ubuntu.social/tags/OpenPrinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OpenPrinting</span></a> <a href="https://ubuntu.social/tags/WSL" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WSL</span></a> <a href="https://ubuntu.social/tags/Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Windows</span></a> <a href="https://ubuntu.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://ubuntu.social/tags/CUPS" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CUPS</span></a> <a href="https://ubuntu.social/tags/IPP" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>IPP</span></a> <a href="https://ubuntu.social/tags/RaspberryPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>RaspberryPi</span></a></p>
