That distinction makes a difference. I was thinking you were saying once installed you had to do command line stuff. Like a person was here the other day that thought it passwords could not be changed without a command line.

But since you did clarify, hardware is indeed a pain if it isn’t supported. I put a lot of that on the vendors. Why would a mouse need its own drivers and software? That seems crazy.

And to put it into perspective: I have 3 monitors, different resolutions and refresh rates. I did nothing to make it work, it just did. My desktop and laptop have been pretty much zero effort on my part to make them work.

On the other hand I have 3 windows machines that I am dealing with for others and the audio driver is clearly the issue with one, nvidias driver with the other, and a failed MS update with the third.

Guess what? Every fix requires the command line. In Windows. Computers can suck.
