      I’m not an Apple fan. I dislike the whole “lock in” culture. On my machines I like Linux, and on my phone(s) and tablet(s) I like Android.

      Is it wrong that I mostly also like CUPS as a print server, given that CUPS is Apple tech?

      Arch Linux, on a Ryzen 7 1800X, 32 GB, 5 (yes -5) HDs inc 5 SSDs, 4 RPi 3Bs + 1 RPi 4B - one as an NFS server with two more drives, PiHole (shut yours), Plex server, cloud server, and other random Pi stuff. Nice CoolerMaster case, 2 x NV GTX 1070 8GB, and a whopping 32" AOC 1440P monitor.

        Well seeing as it was originally the Common Unix Printing System I think you are fairly safe to like it ?

          Apple WERE the main (almost sole) custodians for quite a long time, but I believe that recently both Redhat and Ubuntu have been active in making the CUPS GUI more intelligible for desktop use. e.g. arcane use of print server nomenclature, and a little less ambiguous  etc.

          The original developer Michael Sweet is still heavily involved in the project.
