@ZySoua Once upon a time, I had a project at the job, I had to install like 10 multifunction printers (the ones with scanners on top) on one workstation so they could work if not simultaneously then at least 3 of them at one time.

An easy task for a Linux machine, but not all of the printers had the appropriate drivers, and they were pretty old. So we had to do it on Windows 7.

I was prepared to feel all fuzzy and nostalgic for the times Windows was at least some degree of good.

Well, my nostalgia glasses shattered immediately when I started seeing "hardware conflict" errors. A pretty much non-existent concept on Linux. This motherfucker can't even enumerate USB devices properly. I had to work through countless glitches and crashes and inconsistencies even when the drivers were by the same manufacturer.

Nah. Windows was never good.
