  • I have. I have given them more and more permissions but they can never connect to the saned service and I haven’t been able to find a single shred of documentation about it from any atomic distro and my discord messages were ignored. There are a few posts asking about it for various atomic distro but it is very much “it works for me shrug” or “it doesn’t work at all so I had to layer the scanner app” with 0 mention in anything about the correct flatpak permissions.


  • I haven’t been able to get flatpaks (what you have to use on Bazzite and Kionite) to work with a wifi scanner and I have been using Linux since 2016, so not really beginner friendly. Apparently some people have gotten it working, but still, it works generally out of the box on Fedora, Mint, and Opensuse Tumbleweed I think.

    WiFi printing works fine though.

    But if you have a USB printer, or don’t use the scanner of your WiFi printer, Bazzite is great!


  • If you everyday tasks include document signing or scanning with a Wifi printer, then maybe steer clear of Bazzite and Kionite and opensuse Aeon/kalpa.

    I would go for just normal fedora or opensuse tumbleweed instead.

    Mint is also great if you don’t have a “fresh off the production line new hardware”.



  • I recently saw a video where someone had done the math if the sun output literally 1% less energy (or I guess shading 1% that reaches earth would be the same) and it would literally throw us into another ice age lol, and apparently models say that even that wouldn’t fix the damage done to our oceans and it would actually speed up acidification.

    Is your printer network attached and scanning via flatpak packages?

    Network printing works fine, USB printing and scanning works also, it is just anything having to use saned that flatpaks can’t seem to use

    I have hopped through multiple distros and I have never once had scanning not work on a “normal” one after correctly setting up saned. Only bazzite because of the flatpak/system split (also why any embedded programming needs distrobox)
