How else is that supposed to work?
You either fix a driver in the kernel or a driver outside the kernel, it's not going to make that big of a difference to the person who has to fix it.
- jdiff 11mo agoThe difference is that the end user doesn't have to do it. Someone else is going to do it. Just like it is on Windows.
- realusername 11mo agoThat only works because Windows has a large marketshare, the day it drops to 10%, users will have to write their own drivers as well
- jdiff 11mo agoI was highlighting this as a similarity between them, but I see how my comment can be ambiguous. The average Linux user isn't currently writing their own drivers or compiling their own kernels, even with its tiny relative userbase.
