Is there actually a good driver updater tool that scans versions with a database?

True but what about for Windows? Linux rarely needs any drivers due to everything being compiled into the kernel as modules nowadays.

Yes, it's called Windows Update.
Microsoft has a database of all drivers because they require all drivers to be signed by them.
>no one mentions Snappy Driver Installer
It's possibly THE BEST tool for an IT Dept or repair shop. Open source and FREE, no disgusting ads (besides the occasional banner to donate to their Patreon)

I find this really cool, since I use Linux I've never had to install any drivers manually except GPU and there I only had to choose between open source and proprietary drivers. Is this the reason why the kernel is growing?

Yes, any version of Windows after 7.

Holy shit. This is amazing. Only downside is it uses torrents instead of direct urls to manufacturer websites.
