> I would hardly call click an pray, and then having to redo this every time you want to set up a fresh install reproducible or deterministic. My standard for that is using Nix. Your standard is overengineered and a waste of time. No one needs that. IT is not paid a million dollars per year, we can spare a few man-hours. > Imagine actually having to care about the products you release. Actually, imagine NOT having to care because Windows exists and will allow you to ship one driver and it'll work forever. Wouldn't that be nice? Think of the cost savings. Think of the driver stability. Stop imagining, it's reality. > I think any sane person should consider advertisements in their file explorer harmful. Well you thought wrong, most people don't care or are very mildly annoyed/bemused. If you only read HN and TheRegister, you might come away thinking that everyone is suffering life-altering psychological trauma from that Candy Crush ad, but it's simply not a major issue.
