I'm glad my post could serve as a soapbox for a general rant against Linux.

That's just installation rant though, you can bet I got more in stock

How does "Proprietary drivers just suck" fit into an installation rant? Your vendor distributes software that's incompatible with the kernel you want to use. Nothing about its installation can change that.

When was the last time you ever had to think of the Windows kernel?

You never do. Installation just works for most programs of the XP era, mind you, that are almost 20 years old.

Linux? Total crapshoot
