Fortunately, this fucking windows partition I only keep for VR with my shitty Oculus Rift CV1 reminds me how fucked up the alternative is. I can’t fucking wait to get a Steam Frame and ditch it.

    Main issue is the inconsistent drivers naturally included in Windows update and just how many things demand you install a weird vendor specific driver, with the steward of what should be a generic Winfows driver sometimes breaking things for other vendors, and/or neglecting the Windows update vintage of their driver.

    Architecturally, the Windows driver model should be saner, but for most random devices I have better luck with Linux in how drivers are maintained and supported over time.

      Issue as always is that vendors have zero interest in maintaining their drivers over time.

      Neither releasing updates for a new OS version, nor putting them through the process to get them into windows built-in driver library.

      They’ll do it grudgingly if it helps them sell more products but even that seems to be a struggle. AMD and nvidia are better than most in that regard.
