This is such a poor attempt at trolling. Don’t you have better things to do?

It is simpler when you’re doing stuff on the web and/or need to scale.

Compared to MinIO, it has more storage backend flexibility, cross-region replication is easy, it is resilient to less-than-ideal network conditions between nodes. Did you bother reading the website?

I’m not sure why your immediate reaction to having more options is negative.

Update the drivers on windows and see if the latest version supports it

Or

Install WSL or a VM and pass the device through to linux, let the kernel find it and activate the drivers, configure the network, then set up routes to share that connection with the host.

Set up a cheap VPS on DigitalOcean or the like, and run a Tailscale exit node. Put Tailscale on your devices at home (or get a 2nd router that allows you to run Tailscale on it) and join them to the same Tailnet. That’s the easiest way to accomplish this without getting too far into the weeds.

I truly do think this is a cool feature, but after seeing all the comments saying stuff like “now there’s ZERO excuse not to use Wayland!”, I felt like it was appropriate to share my perspective as a professional user who uses their computer a little differently than a FOSS enthusiast or hobbyist/casual user. I’m not getting paid to go around submitting bug reports and making PRs, so when things don’t “just work” it can be a big issue.

I’m talking about FOSS software incompatibilities, I don’t have any expectation for mega corporate apps like Discord and Teams to adopt it. Those are a lost cause, I just use the browser versions and pray.

This is cool, but half the software I need to use still doesn’t work on Wayland for some inexplicable reason.

I know this is the responsibility of the software maintainer to fix their compatibility, but as a business user I don’t have time to go around filing detailed bug reports and waiting for the next release when it’s fixed.

The solution for me is to switch back to X11 and move along, then in another year I try Wayland again after installing a new distro. After a few hours I find something that isn’t working on Wayland, rinse and repeat.

If you’re running Windows I would suggest looking into ShareX. It’s a million times better imo. Support for custom uploaders, video and gif recording, etc. It’s also free and open source.
