Anyway I think the Linux driver model is fine I've got some garbage from decades ago (like an IR dongle whose last windows driver was for XP) and they still work fine and last I heard the USB stack is internally on its 3rd or 4th rewrite without any apparent problems for end users. that'd have been really rough if they were still supporting an API from linux 2.2 or some bs speaking of gfx specifically, would a huge restructuring like Wayland even have been feasible?

maybe it's best if linux refrains from cargo culting companies who treat planned obsolescence as a business model when it comes to driver policy

its fine for open source drivers in the kernel tree but any other driver is a pita. how exactly did wayland need a restructured driver model and kernel?

my first party, microsoft purchased xbox 360 controller that i bought in 2015 does not work in windows 10 even when it is plugged in directly. it is possible to make it work by going into whatever the control panel is called today and selecting some unsupported driver that it warns you about. it's loving incredibly bad.

Do you still have to get those weird wrapper drivers for wireless cards? I remember my wireless didn't work unless I downloaded a wrapper or some goofy poo poo like that.

i have an nvidia optimus system that was fixed by installing linux. i think the gpu is bad, so whenever you'd install the driver in windows the system would get super hot and bsod constantly. installed linux, nvidia gpu appears to be off, runs great on intel gpu. obviously poo poo 3d support, but it works fine for a small internet machine.
