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.
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.
hahaha
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
I don't remember the last time I needed to look for a driver on Linux
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).
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.
