Agreed. You can almost find an answer with a Google search.
However, the "official" help from Microsoft in these groups is
sometimes terrible, with the helper offering trivial solutions
that the questioner has almost always tried.


Who uses Google? Why? Try duckduckgo.com


I just tried it with my recent printer problem. It was even worse than
Google.


I was speaking "in general". My Linux uses the same printer system as
Apple, CUPS. I have never had to fish for a printer driver, just agree
with the software.


Who's ever had to fish for HP printer drivers? "They're everywhere,
they're everywhere." My problem was not with the printer driver, anyhow.
(I did find a question from a decade ago about exactly my problem.
Unfortunately, no one came up with a resolution.)


duckduckgo doesn't save your browsing history or push certain names.


Then what's that sponsored link I see at the top?



That's a "sponsored link". That pays for the 2 story house DDG calls
headquarters.
