Fortunately, this fucking windows partition I only keep for VR with my shitty Oculus Rift CV1 reminds me how fucked up the alternative is. I can't fucking wait to get a Steam Frame and ditch it.

Issue as always is that vendors have zero interest in maintaining their drivers over time.

Neither releasing updates for a new OS version, nor putting them through the process to get them into windows built-in driver library.

They’ll do it grudgingly if it helps them sell more products but even that seems to be a struggle. AMD and nvidia are better than most in that regard.
