Why would u need a driver for an xrandr

As much and as hard as I shill for linux on /g/, I'd be lying if I didn't admit that Windows is quite literally the only OS iI've used that actually "just werks!" with everything. It's obvious why that is, but it still needs to be mentioned

Windows has never just worked for me. Every single time I install Windows it's a shit feast of driver installations. Once I even had to download THE FUCKING LAN DRIVER.

>>57860266
>Once I even had to download THE FUCKING LAN DRIVER

Other drivers I can understand, but I think only one time i had to predownload a LAN driver before an installation (and this was probably 10 years ago). Windows normally includes its generic LAN drivers.

Hilarious.

Every class i enter windows laptops are freezing everywhere. My shit runs so tight and is so alien i look like a god to these fools.

I get all my work done before everyone else and spend the last 50 minutes if class gloating about how little ram i use.
