How fucking hard can it be to write a functional driver for the device you built yourself?

[–] Jako302@feddit.org 13 points 8 hours ago

Considering the amount of legacy soft- and hardware the drivers have to interact with as well as all the fixes specific Programms need, its a complete nightmare to write these drivers. Especially since they pivoted from raw processing power to a mich more software supported system.

What I can't excuse is the abysmal amount of quality control the seem to be doing.

Like, very very very hard? The kind of hard that can't be vive coded?

[–] inzen@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago

If I'm not mistaken most of the driver is fixes for games doing weird shit with graphics api.
