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. And after hours of working with the broken install (DISM, Scannow, ISO downoader extraction, and on and on, it looks like the only fix is a reinstall. It bluescreens and will not update. Yet the hardware is fine, its all drivers.
