You mean having to recompile them whenever there's a new kernel because the developers consider a stable driver ABI to be abhorrent?
- coldpie 7y agoI don't think I've ever compiled a driver. So no, I don't think that's what they meant.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 7y agoOnly because the disto does it for you. If they mean because the driver is distributed from a centralized repository over the internet... that's how it works in Windows too, only Windows also has the option to use alternate media and a stable enough driver ABI to have that make some kind of sense.
