After fresh windows install: Fuck, now to install everything I need and all the updates over the next few hours

After fresh Mac install: oh god I hope it worked...

After fresh Linux install: sudo apt upgrade and done!

After a fresh windows install: it literally downloads every driver

After a fresh mac install: you get prosecuted because you didint pay 100$ at an apple store to have it reinstalled

After a fresh linux install: time to scavenge alternatives to these 5 year old drivers

@BindView never had driver issues with Linux tbh, well aside from NVIDIA drivers

I only had to search for the more obscure ones like when i had a wifi+bt chip integrated together but meh

@BindView what distro?
I just use bog standard Ubuntu and have no issues when it comes to BT+WiFi chips, they work perfectly out of the box

Debian

@BindView ah, yeah I haven't had experience with base debian so can't comment

@Torbuntu yeah sometimes i wonder why do i use that crap lol

@Torbuntu not winning the lottery is also not bad but id rather win thanks

@BindView & @Torbuntu
Solus is a pretty good choice as well.

(>is currently running Fedora, Arch, and Pop!_OS)

The push to upgrade to high Sierra on Mac is pretty annoying - bubble reminders every day! And the likelihood everything breaks is high :/

Windows isn't too bad doing this, I use a multi installer and back up all install files for programs I REALLY need. I've had Linux break a few times and remove programs I needed :(

Haha what an coincide
Just resetting my PC

@BindView
just have the iwlwifi.deb package nearby and everything works.

There is no such thing as an operating system on which I do not spend weeks and months tuning settings, updating configs, installing software, and otherwise just making it my own. That is not at all a shortcoming of any particular operating system. The particularly is with me, and I'm fine with that.
