Printing was horrible on Windows, and Mac uses cups too, no? I've only ever had good experiences printing from Linux

macOS still uses cups. It's deprecated but still functional. The alternative is to use AirPrint or get fucked.

Doesn't AirPrint go through CUPS?

Sorry, I misspoke. CUPS itself is not deprecated, only most of its old functionality regarding drivers.

From man cups:

CUPS printer drivers, backends, and PPD files are deprecated and will no longer be supported in a future feature release of CUPS

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.
