Fortunately, this fucking windows partition I only keep for VR with my shitty Oculus Rift CV1 reminds me how fucked up the alternative is. I can't fucking wait to get a Steam Frame and ditch it.

That includes posts generated by LLMs. It doesn’t matter if you “don’t have the time” or “would’ve written the same anyway”, or if “everyone’s doing it geez get with the times”.
For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.

Yes, but you would need to know to run that command, so it's the same situation as the windows case where he didn't know which drivers to get. So the argument is disingenuous in that it either ignores the case or he has knowledge on one OS that he doesn't on the other. On the other side of the coin someone could be making a similar post saying in windows they just switched hardware, installed drivers and done, in Linux they spent hours trying to figure out how to install the drivers.
I'm not saying it's hard (on any OS) but it requires previous knowledge on both (although to a much lesser extent on Linux since this only happens when switching GPUs and only under specific conditions).
