yeah, except that you have to find the official site, find there the model of your tablet, go on its page, finally download the driver. Only after that i can doubleclick on the installer and click yes half a dozen times. Also, no automation at all. I could write a fucking script that completely transforms any linux into my own one with all the programs and environment i like. There’s even an OS that functions that way: in nixOS everything done through single config file.
No dumb extra clicks. Also, no obscure “install opera” checkmarks or some similar shit, and noone treats you like you’re mentally deranged. Frankly, it felt so refreshig for me. Like i’ve finally breathed in some fresh air after decades of pure CO2
Using the official site is a benefit, not a downside imo. Package managers aren’t any more convenient when you still have to spend a ton of time googling for the correct thing, then trying to find the correct commands to install it, then installing it the wrong way because your distro actually uses this other package manager.

this single quote gives me understanding that you don’t know what you’re talking about. You literally making the shit up right now. If your system uses other package manager, the command simply won’t run.
what’s about googling stuff, there are literally wikis for every major distribution, and they’re more than enough to install drivers (which this topic is all about) to any of their derivatives. I agree that having an ability to use official site is good, but this option is still as available if you’re on linux. Its just so that it is not an option on windows, it is the only way, and it’s annoying. Making a clean install? Be a dear, make sure to speedrun all this clownade with installing your proprietary drivers and software, don’t forget to also draw a pentagram and provide some virgin blood in order to disable windows defender, annoying af automatic updates and realtime protection. Thank you Microsoft, I’m not stupid, i’ll manage myself to not to download that sus af software, you don’t have to use half of my pc resources just to regularily scan the file system on potential viruses.
In previous paragraph i have mentioned updates. Yeah, you either won’t get any, or they’re annoying af, and i’m not even talking about famous windows system ones (yeah, java?)
“sudo pacman -Syu” is the only command i have to run now to update literally everything all at once without it taking half an hour or a necessary reboot. You don’t even have to stop what you were doing, as noone cockblocks you with a fucking loading screen.

Installers are better imo
