1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    I guess, all depends on what type of driver you're installing; but I had to install win10 on my brother's PC last week, these are the steps I had to take to install AMD's drivers (because the ones included with windows suck):

    1. Open Edge.
    2. Download Opera (his browser of choice) and install it.
    3. Google "AMD Drivers", go to the website
    4. Lookup the exact model of the processor: "Ryzen 3 3200G".
    5. Try to guess what fucking .exe file to download, since their descriptions are vague.
    6. Double click the .exe.
    7. next, deselect bloatware, next, install.
    8. Error on installation
    9. Lookup error code.
    10. Turns out Windows was downloading (not installing) an update at the same time, without telling me.
    11. Wait 15 minutes for windows to finish doing whatever it wants to do, without user consent.
    12. Reboot machine.
    13. Try again. Next, next, deselect bloatware, next, install
    14. Reboot machine again.
    15. (OPTIONAL) Curse Bill Gates, Steve Balmer and Satya Nadella for making me waste my time.

    I have a w10 PC and an Nvidia card. You install NVidia GeForce Experience and click "download", then "install".

    For AMD, you would install AMD Catalyst and do the same.

    No bloatware for either.. don't do things the hard way!

    You can download just the driver directly from Nvidia and not install GeForce experience
