This is the realest thing I’ve ever realed in my whole reality

I mean, I still have to make sure my driver's are up to date because Windows doesn't always have the latest version available in WSUS. I honestly would be on Ubuntu right now if I didn't play so many games.

There are much more devices and peripherals available for windows.

The last panel is wrong. It should read "then stop buying shit hardware!"

Having said that, the last windows upgrade I did for someone - honestly, it was a hardware swap and data copy - also included new printers, webcam (webcam!) and wireless mouse because win10 was like "yeah, fuck you, we hate hardware more than 2 years old and we dropped support, so go get new stuff, Skippy."

So it happens with linux or windows, but for different reasons.

hahaha

Do people still have driver issues on Linux? What hardware are people using? I've been using Arch literally since it came out. I can't remember the last time I had any concern that the laptop I bought would run Linux, ...actually I do remember, I had a laptop with a modem that didn't work right off the bat (or ever since it was 2008 and never tried to make it work).

Most of the drivers should be in the kernel already unless its gpu stuff but I have to do that by hand on Windows too

that's a big lol, Ubuntu has given me tons of driver problems, and it's only gotten worse since 2010. there really needs to be an option to download an extra-bloated ISO with every possible WiFi driver included. if the WiFi doesn't work, how the hell am I supposed to download the driver?? (rhetorical question) not to mention, the loss of easily installable VMware Tools included with VMware Player / Workstation / vCenter makes it way harder to configure VMs. that last bit isn't Linux's fault, it's VMware being stupid, but is absolutely a barrier to testing out new distros

I have to admit I use mostly Ubuntu and Mint;

the only drivers I had to install (successfully) were ethernet and wifi drivers on laptops. (luckily bluetooth and usb-tethering always works.

The only driver I never managed to install is the fingerprint reader. But who can expect that a Dell Laptop for 5k€ that is sold by dell with a linux-option has linux drivers for all of the hardware...

The only driver I ever needed was the Brother laser printer ones which are well documented. Fedora btw, m'linux.

I can't get over how thin her molars are.
