Windows is a timesink garbage. Why do people fall for "Windows just works" meme? Honest question.
>Have a wireless keyboard
I have found your problem. You are a faggot.
Unless you are NEET gaymer, wireless keyboard is perfectly fine for people that prefer doing work to manage wires.
Whether you are a NEET gaymer or not,
whichever OS anyone uses or not,
this thread has stopped being a topic on everything else save for ridiculing your faggotry the moment you mentioned the term "wireless keyboard".
Last but not least, politely said, you are a faggot.

amazon.com
i use windows and i got this and just pluged it in and it works
ive done it with 3 different pcs and they all work right away
I was on the same problem too, my wireless wasn't included in ubuntu's default but now it is, but windows doesn't ship with the drivers so it goes like this
linux
>take lan cable

Wireless keyboards are great for when you're watching movies or casual browsing from the couch, I have a wireless one for this and a wired one for everything else, fucking plebs
I have one too it's RF though and not Bluetooth so it works in literally anything you can plug attach a regular keyboard to
All you had to do is install logitech drivers from logitech and pair the thing with bluetooth you dumb motherfucking copyleft foot fungus eating pedophile
Do you find it difficult to type on those flat keys? I have a similar Logitech keyboard and typing isn't so great.
i have the same keyboard op, it is by far the worst thing I ever typed on, windows is doing you a favor
>using wireless keyboards instead of a small controller or a remote control
You are an immense faggot, and also stupid. Does your computer also take up half your room you hipster cakeboy?
Enjoy typing on that controller you faggot.
not him but every remote control I've had that was meant for use with a PC has been absolute ass, and with both remotes and controllers there's the extra layer of hassle of mapping all the controller's buttons to useful functions in windows and making the thumbsticks work like a mouse etc.
i'd take a keyboard w/ touchpad over those options any day
Good luck typing on those you autistic piece of shit
I have a remote control with a small slideout keyboard.
Again, go kill yourself cakeboy.
You can even set up a slideout phone to do the deed if you have a brain in your skull.
>This level os /v denial.
Neck yourself you Vydia NEETs.
I do enjoy typing on it, thanks, stupid kids :)
Disgusting
macOS users have a similar experience to Linux users in this particular aspect. Practically every input device I've hooked up my my Macs have worked right out of the box without drivers. In fact, the only thing I remember having to download drivers for my Macs for in the past several years have been printers, and for those cases the OS recognized that it needed printer drivers and offered to download and install said drivers automatically (and said drivers were actually from the printer vendor and fully up to date, unlike the drivers Windows Update tends to give you).
Meanwhile I plug my wireless logitech keyboard into my windows 10 pc and it works perfectly.
Fuck off you linux autist. Stop trying to justify using a non normie OS. Nobody fucking cares.
This, CUPS is far better than anything Windows has to offer.
>Have chink wireless raspberry pi keyboard

I-it just-t work guys r-right?
>he doesn't have one of these
pleb!
Pic related is the best remote I've used. Swipes are better than fidgety direction buttons (and can include velocity, so you can quickly select something on the other side of the screen without spamming the right/left buttons), clicky hard plastic buttons are better than your stock gummy button shit, and dictating out searches works way better than onscreen virtual keyboard.
I just wish I could control my AV receiver and the TV itself with the same remote somehow. Having to use the remotes that came with the receiver and TV is frustrating by comparison.

Linux is forever banished to my server, at least until Wayland is stable and nicely usable. I want fucking nothing to do with Linux GPU drivers and the entire cancerous edifice built atop X.
Every hp and brother printer I've ever had to use worked immediately after plugging it in. Samsung was a huge pain in the ass though, had to install the official drivers in the aur in order for it to work perfectly.
>Have 5 monitors between 2 desktops, and 3 laptops, 2 of which have optimus shit

Meanwhile on Windows:

Windows is forever banished to my compatibility os, until the foreseeable future.
I have one but it makes right click by itself
>linux

sure thing
how new
>get new hardware

>never have to worry about incompatibility or old drivers
Instead of it "just working," think about having the latest stable drivers, the way the hardware was intended, you dumb fucking nigger faggots...
You remember how applel told people that "they were using it wrong :^)" as a response to the iphone 4 reception issue?
Now this thread can be closed.
>have arch + xfce

and supposedly I'm using the le broken xorg.conf meme distro
Yes
holy fuck this
I have the same one and it worked right away idk what you're doing
literally never had this problem
Running Windows 10. I jam in obscure shit, it instantly downloads generic drivers by Microsoft and shit just werks

Ironic how winshills talk about their trash OS for "just working"
mine too.
we got chinked.
Should've just got Microsoft's version. Easiest install and even better reception.
Have an old scanner and even older printer
On Linux:

Thre only problem I ever had with printers on linux was with a particularly wonky HP printer. And even then it was like a 10 minute search and 1 minute fiddling with packages
Printing on linux has not been an issue in literally 10 years.
>Printing on linux has not been an issue in literally 10 years.
yeah, you should thank Steve Jobs for that. apple bought CUPS and they spent money & time on getting drivers.
>>have 3 monitors
>>boot up desktop Linux
>>fucking horrible tearing on 2nd and 3rd screens
That's weird as man, I'm running 2 monitors on linux mint with an nvidia card and it just works out of the box.
>>the year is 2007
I'll take things that haven't been relevant for half a decade for 500
You do know that Microsoft pays hired online shills to spread FUD and anger trolling about other OSes, right?
Printing on Linux is easy... If it's hardwired.
Good fucking luck setting up WiFi printing.
Have an old HP printer on home network. Never had any problem on Linux.
What did I do wrong?
>>Have a wireless keyboard
Kill yourself
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL POORFAG hehehehehe
...
>>I had to download the software necessary for a thing to work in order for it to work.

Wat.
This thing is Thinkpad tier durable. Accidentally doused it with soda, had to take it apart and rinse the plastic since the keys got sticky, but it still works perfectly. Just werks under Linux too.
