IME on Linux, simply using the OS borders on development. Heaven forbid there is no driver for your printer. I recall looking up a driver for a common device (this was a few years back) and the responder to the question suggested the user learn how to write the driver themself, and that it would a valuable experience. It's better to learn how to do things yourself
I may as well learn to build a combustion engine according to that thinking, and how to machine off the shelf parts too.
I appreciate things have got better; maybe Linux has got as easy to use for the end-user as Windows, but I am doubtful.
