I’m impressed they got it wrong for both platforms
I don’t remember the last time I had to manually install a driver on Linux.
But I do remember the last time I had to manually install a driver on Windows. I had to revert the change in safe mode, because it wouldn’t boot after the install. To be fair to Windows, it was an old PS/2 to USB adaptor. To be fair to the adaptor, it was plug-and-play on OpenSuse, Mint, and Fedora.
Edit: it was Win10 21H1, I believe.
I had Windows literally delete my graphics drivers because it decided to download “new” ones (read: the default fallback driver) and made me unable to play anything. And when I went through the trouble of figuring out how to get AMD’s software center to redownload it, Windows did it again.
On an unrelated note, that happened on my second-to-last day of using Windows.
No, that’s about how it is on Linux.
Some drivers just work. Others? Absolute pain in the ass. If it doesn’t work on first boot you’re probably screwed.
Source: my laptops audio still doesn’t work with Linux.
You’re missing the SOF Firmware. Trust me on this one.
None of those commands install drivers on linux tho. What audio driver couldn’t you install?
It looks like the OP was trying to shorthand (not show entirely)
->Just updating Ubtuntu to see if it fixes the issue
->cloning a github repo and then trying to build a driver themselves
->Checking with modprobe to see if it worked (I don’t remember the command clearly, I’ve only actually done this once like 2 years ago)The syntax error at the end is probably more for dramatic effect and would’ve occurred when trying to make the repo. But at the bare minimum using Apt to update->upgrade your distro would update a driver if it was already installed and just outdated.
What audio chip do you have?
Hahahahahahahaha hell no My Nvidia experience on windows required me to setup a whole ass nvidia account just to get access to the crappy nvidia software to install the drivers
My Nvidia experience on fedora was
sudo dnf install akmod-nvidiaNot to mention the utterly useless auto driver install from windows which would either:
- fail to find drivers meaning I had to go search for them on google
- download the driver release from 2 years ago
- use some generic Microsoft driver (goto option 1)
- overwrite my manually installed latest driver (goto option 1)
oh, don’t mind me, i’m just over here using my graphics tablet that linux came with drivers for and which worked out of the box (including pressure sensing) as soon as i plugged it in, and printing on my printer which CUPS auto-detected and went from new laptop to printing in 30 seconds, and which i have never had any issues with

Windows: “driver for graphics card not found. Go fuck yourself.”
Fuck it, here’s an ad.
What card?? I’ve literally never seen this in 20-30 years.
Most cards are made with Windows in mind first and foremost.
Actually, I got an error “Cannot install Windows, missing (graphics) drivers”. Debian Live did boot without any problem, though.
yeah graphics driver support on windows is notoriously far worse than on the tertiary afterthought that is linux
u mad?
no, but i think anybody that spends their time seething about what pcmasterrace is up to very clearly is
Never happens. I’ve never had a video card fail to work with Windows right away.

Well… they are right.
Downvote for use of word “morons”.
Judging by your votes I think you might want to invest more time in learning to communicate unambiguously.
