Either Linux’s built-in display drivers are black magic or microslop is incompetent
Why not both :) ?
I just realized that since switching to cachyos 4 months ago I have never had to install any driver or driver updates.
Even during initial setup I don’t think I installed anything driver related.
It’s really a step up from Microslop. Last time I installed my W10 I had to prepare all the necessary drivers and collect them on each manufacturers websites.
It is so much more streamlined on Linux.

That’s the result of 30 years of hard work and suffering! Windows was always supported by hardware vendors, meaning THEY supplied drivers which you’d then have to install on Windows. Linux never was, so Linux devs needed to write their own drivers for every hardware and put them in the kernel for you.
