This has been my experience also. My Brother printer/scanner works great with linux.

Yes you can run xfce on lmde. I installed the xfce from repos and it works great with lmde.

Agree…LibreElec is the best way to run kodi on a RPI 4.

I bought a kindle 4 back when it first came out. I hacked it with duokan so i could put epubs on it. I never put it online and just sideload books on it with Calibre. Still going strong except battery is getting a little weak.

Grisbi, for finances.

Been running LMDE on a m6600 for years. Does everything i want.

Nothing wrong with Iceraven. It gets updates regularly. I use it on all my android devices.
