Why would u need a driver for an xrandr
As much and as hard as I shill for linux on Sup Forums, I'd be lying if I didn't admit that Windows is quite literally the only OS iI've used that actually "just werks!" with everything. It's obvious why that is, but it still needs to be mentioned

Maybe you should stop using the autist distro.

Any time you have to compile from source on Windows or use .Net components.

I can't name 2 but getting boost to work in Windows is a bitch
i died.
fresh pic?
oops i meant
kek
It always was
Windows has never just worked for me. Every single time I install Windows it's a shit feast of driver installations. Once I even had to download THE FUCKING LAN DRIVER.
>Once I even had to download THE FUCKING LAN DRIVER
Other drivers I can understand, but I think only one time i had to predownload a LAN driver before an installation (and this was probably 10 years ago). Windows normally includes its generic LAN drivers.
Hilarious.
Every class i enter windows laptops are freezing everywhere. My shit runs so tight and is so alien i look like a god to these fools.
I get all my work done before everyone else and spend the last 50 minutes if class gloating about how little ram i use.

VGA/HDMI drivers?
Yeah, you'll prolly never need to use those , OP
because he made it up
Reboot with it plugged in. Always werks for me and I run gentoo on a thinkpad. I've never install ed drivers for it.

Lincucks as usual.

Tranny programmers
Can't fap to a tranny programmer lest you be accused of being heterosexual.

Stallman uses landline telephone to order pizza. Or you can go to local groceries and buy food with cash.
Nice pasta.
I've literally have had the opposite experience of that happen.

Classic Sup Forums
When will people learn?
Nobody thinks it's hetrosexual to fap to tranny programmers or traps
>Any time you have to compile from source on Windows
When do you ever do that?
I've literally never used Boost for this reason and I'm kinda glad because Boost is absolute shit.

It's party's money, so doesn't matter.
Try running older linux or windows kernels on modern cpus.
