    Have you not used windows in the last decade? Most drivers you need are built in now. I’ve not needed to install manual drivers except for Nvidia since win 10 came out. Vs Linux where I definitely have needed to install drivers in order to get my wifi working which is always a load of fun if you didn’t make sure to grab it before wiping your primary os

      It sounds like you haven’t used a user friendly Linux distro in the last decade. Mint and Ubuntu will install any proprietary driver you need, but even beyond that most WiFi cards are supported out of the box by the Linux kernel now.

      In practice that means that Windows suddenly decides that it doesn’t want to use the AMD drivers I installed any more but its own, while I’m playing, crashing everything.
