      I seriously don't understand this problem. I have more driver issues with Windows than with Linux.

      With Linux everything I have just works as soon as I plug it in. Especially anything having to do with graphics that isn't directX related.

      Also tons of reverse engineering driver projects for hardware that's out of date. My 2003 printer doesn't work on windows, but it works on Linux because someone figured out the drivers and released it for free.

      Also unlike windows, if I have an issue I don't have to download executables from weird websites and can get them from trusted repositories and update everything I have installed with one command.

        Complete opposite of my experience but it's definitely gotten easier to use if you're a dumb guy like me

          As Windows continues to lose support for devices as market share shrinks, Linux support grows. More and more manufacturers are supporting Linux out of the box now, and Linux is actually amazing at just having the drivers needed for a device.

          With Windows, every wireless card I've had has required me to use another device to download drivers from their website and install them, but never on Linux. They all just work.
