The first one, Simple Scan aka Document Scanner works like a dream on my Fedora laptop. The UI can be a bit finnicky though when selecting scanned pages, but the keyboard shortcuts have helped me immensely when scanning documents from my Brother LaserJet.
I’m sure there’s a command-line tool that’s even more efficient than the tools from the article. That’s the magical thing about Linux. I was able to use a file recovery command-line tool to recover files after I botched a transfer to an external SSD. A to I would’ve had to pay for or use some sketch asf site on Windows.

Oh, nice. I ran simplescan and it just worked. I’ve never actually tried to scan anything with my MFP Brother.
