Found out also I can set some applications to the earbuds and others to the speakers! So a video can be playing on one set of speakers and the transcribing on the ear buds! And this was all setup almost instantly!

Linux is quite miraculous!

(The earbuds were normally used for working out. In particular work out vids.)

(For transcribing I use audacity to get the exact notes at the exact time. Then export the 'labels' and use a python script to convert it to sheet music.)

About 5 years ago we were resurrecting an old laptop at the office. We were going install an updated copy of Microsoft Windows so we could use it as an Internet Explorer test machine. After we had Windows installed we had to go to some website and download a sketchy installer for the wireless drivers. For a while, basic things like working wireless drivers used come included with Windows. Now Windows users are back to the early 2000’s where they have to hunt around forums and download drivers. It has degraded.

Granted, I don’t install Linux on lots of different hardware, so I don’t know if it’s any better, but Microsoft can’t claim to be easier to setup.

Linux basically comes with all the drivers for almost everything already in the kernel. Most distributions precompile basically literally every driver etc you could possibly need. Only in ie Gentoo might you be asked which drivers you want to compile in. Which basically you just go down the list and choose them all when it comes to filesystem and network card support etc.

Also most linux distributions come with a packaging system so if you ie need extra wireless support etc, it's just a one liner command and it auto brings down and installing all the dependencies etc.

At this point linux is most likely easily easier to set things up and get things running than windows these days.
