    Good luck with that! It’s basically just playing around with memory and some constructs inside it. The kernel docs for Linux suck balls though if you have no idea about that stuff and/or are new to kernel-level programming. That’s where I learned to love the Microsoft documentation.

    You can do the exact same thing in Windows, just think of the SysInternals Suite and its power. It’s just that people on Linux expect problems, while the overwhelming majority of people on Windows/MacOS is using their device expecting it to work and if it doesn’t they go do something else or buy another device.

    Also this completely untrue notion that you cannot fix Windows or play around with its internals is very prevalent, to the point that it’s a meme, so people don’t even try.


  • I like finally seeing someone sane in a Linux sub. Am I dreaming? I love Linux but I hate how unapologetically elitist and blind the fanbase is regarding the egregious user-unfriendliness.

    “But it works for me!!” - Yeah, Bob, you just spent 25 hours troubleshooting your network drivers and recompiling their kernel module.

    “Just choose the distro you want!!!” - Yeah, Alice, you just spent 5 hours researching the various distributions available.

    “I never had any problems!!” - Yeah, Kaitleiynn, you have the exact hardware configuration and OS combo that works perfectly.
