You had to do this with windows in 2005 too... In fact I've had to use a different computer to download drivers as recently as 2017 for a Windows 10 computer...

Well, yes. I wasn't really intending to make a comparison. I was just explaining the meme. There was a time when getting your wifi/network card going in Linux was somewhat of a hassle for many.

Windows 10 comes with generic drivers for network capabilities preinstalled. It isn't Windows 7 anymore.
