I teach emergency communication classes. The students use computers interfaced with their radios - their radios squack AX.25 protocol audio encoded signals, with data that ends up in places like the Red Cross.
In previous years, it would take one or two classes and everyone's system is up and running - then we can work on the details of the programs we use.
Most of what we do works great on the Mac, great on Linux, but on Windows 11? Getting everyone running is a nightmare. The BOHICA updates alter sou

I do amateur radio including doing similar to that and don't have an issue. Methinks you need to update your knowledge.

Reading these comments, I've seen three inflammatory, low-content comments, in response to people giving specific details about their old and new attempts at getting Windows to solve their problems:

After the third one, I go back to find them and see what-a-surprise they're all from the same user. Which means I think you're the one who is bullshit just like your knowledge.
I'd give my anecdotes about diagnosing Windows hardware problems with Linux, or using Linux/Cygwin for fixing software problems, or the lack of driver problems I've had in the last one-to-two decades, because I started using computers in 1986 and started using Linux around 1997 but you don't strike me as some kind of blind shill rather than somebody open to trafficking in real non-dogma data.

I believe you are correct. To be blunt, I don't know if the bullshit guy is serious, an idiot, or just a person who is trying, but failing to be a troll.
Side note - the Linux ecosystem has markedly better driver support than Windows. I installed a USB-RS-232 adapter onto a dual boot Linux/W10 computer a couple years ago. The Linux side worked perfectly. The Windows side couldn't/wouldn't find a driver. Turned out the adapter was from a freaking Palm Pilot. And it worked just as well as the latest FTDI ad
