    I have had to spend so much more time thinking about drivers on Windows than on Linux it’s not even funny

      I don’t know how Linux users are using Windows but whenever I see comments like these I’m surprised they aren’t using OSX or a tablet instead of a computer by now because they clearly don’t know what they’re doing…

          Or using any legacy hardware such as the playstation eyetoy camera, a usb keyboard with a built in piano keyboard, some old random TV tuner card

          Then there’s the hardware which windows only ever had 32bit drivers for, meaning even if you find the drivers on some obscure dodgy site they’ll never work.

          Then there’s the whole bs of windows not allowing unsigned drivers.

          None of these issues on Linux

        I’m starting to wonder if this is a meme or if people are actually having problems.

          Less about problems and more about performance/features in games. How much of a hassle is it to get dlss, ray tracing etc running? How’s the performance impact from not properly supported drivers.
