I use one Intermec with android , I just print todo and lists for my pocket filofax - alas not possible to print under linux (proprietary drivers), and I even had to 'hack' the android intemec print-app (as it was designed for intermec android devices and if you don't use a such it put a watermark line) - TBH even their setup app is windoze only.. FFS
those cheap-as-chips thermals are nice, esp some old ones , they come with a parallel port - very retro! I used an 80mm one to print short todo/lists, they fit well into my 'ancient' pocket filofax (4-ring), alas this kind of paper is not echo friendly.
"Superior" ... unless you don't use IoT, Arduino etc that most if not all of the programming/debugging webapps are using things that the Mozilla folks refuse to implement : webUSB/webSerial , sorry we are not on 90s!
FreeBSD is acceptable, but if you need features like suspend, it can be quite a hassle, and you might be fortunate if your hardware is compatible. On the other hand, OpenBSD has strong advantages for me as an out-of-the-box desktop system, allowing you to avoid the hassle of enabling services. Unfortunately, all the BSDs seem to still carry a 90s vibe.
I have one (800w) that takes about 5min to cook a potato (200gr), the manual suggests "once the potatoes are cooked, wrap them in tin foil for at least 5 minutes to cook through" but I just cook one wrapped with baking paper.
