How fucking hard can it be to write a functional driver for the device you built yourself?
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?
If I'm not mistaken most of the driver is fixes for games doing weird shit with graphics api.
