The thing is.... You found a solution and if you wanted to understand you can always look at the kernel doc. When a similar thing happens in Windows, you are just done... Not only you have a very slim chance of not having to reinstall everything but even less understanding what is happening (ie. Probably an intern that committed something in some close source driver than will be silently fixed some day).
- asoneth 4y agoIf you are someone who can read and understand the kernel doc then I agree that you can be more efficient in Linux. For the vast majority of the population the response to errors is identical on both platforms: reboot, internet searches, learn to live with it, or reinstall and hope for the best.
- bitwize 4y agoSimilar things rarely happen in Windows because Windows has a stable kernel ABI and developers can, do, and are incentivized to supply drivers for their hardware.
