my 2019 macbook air is going to stop getting security patches sometime soon, and I'm thinking about my next move. I'd like to go to Linux (I use Linux already for my work computer). The one app I regularly use, and would miss, is the epson scansmart app, to drive my ff-680. The official Linux driver creates much crappier scans, and doesn't do OCR.
Do you have any suggestions for alternative solutions?
