The person who made this has never had to deal with Windows driver issues obviously

This feels like a comment from 1997. Aside from occasionally updating video drivers for a new video game, I can’t remember the last time I had to maintain–much less fix–a driver.

Oh! Apparently I’m in 1997, then. Remarkable that they have Windows 11, then. I have a machine where the Microsoft provided drivers cause screen blanking when hardware accelerated video plays. Installing the AMD drivers fixes that, but I’ve yet to figure out what the magic sauce is to prevent Windows Update from overwriting part of the drivers that Adrenalin installs. One boot after installing and the machine works great, then the next boot it’ll just be a black screen of death. At least AMD’s installer helpfully makes a restore point.

I second this. I’ve really only had to modify one driver in the seven years that I’ve been using Linux.

My fav is when shit doesn’t work and Windows is like “would you like me to help you?”. Sure, go ahead, I’ve got nothing better to do. Maybe I’ll buy a lottery ticket. Chances are better I’ll win the jackpot.

I love simplicity. This is why I use Linux. Its just simpler to get simple Software that does just one thing and that good.

And I love tinkering with my os.

I use chocolatey on Windows when I’m on windows, the slight issue is a lot of stuff just isn’t on it. That’s rare for me on my main OS where everything is on pacman or the AUR.

Oh I use arch btw.

Chocolatey is … meh. Better than nothing I guess. Now WinGet is an official MS tool, not to bad, but not much in the repo either.

Apparently Windows users just want something that never works, is unsupportable, and required re-installation 3 times a year.
