What on earth are you guys doing having to search the internet for drivers for Linux??? You not buy things that have Linux support advertised? Not looking for good reviews by other Linux users?
Yeah, with the exception of some network printers and surely some other corner case I'm not thinking of now (is broadcom/realtek wifi still a problem?) - drivers are generally already there or don't exist.
Having said that, I remember in my early days fully not comprehending that manual driver installs were generally not a thing with Linux.
I once needed the driver to use "Floppy Streamers" under Linux. That is plain impossible with Windows. For Linux it just meant to recompile the kernel-module each time you updated the kernel which basically was "make && make install". Then at accessing /dev/qic-nst0 I had a Floppy Streamer.
Yes, sometimes you need drivers under Linux. But it is VERY rare.
DKMS is what you want rather than do it manually.
This meme honestly seems like it takes place in the '90s. Cause back then you really did have to hunt to find drivers for Linux. Or cobble together your own using spare code.
The original meme had a Bible, so you can guess the rest of the comic
Correction: I doubt anyone can guess the rest of the comic, that's how out there it is
I'm quite familiar with the original comic as well as the author of the original comic and his various... proclivities.
I was referring to the necromanced comic spawned from it that was posted here.
