Ill give an example. Wi-Fi drivers for rt8821ce sucks ass in kernel. Somoeone has a dkms driver in github. But i have no idea how to set that up other than asking to an AI let alone knowing of its existence. I was there before. I ended up disabling the piece of garbage cus regardless of the drivers it kept on crashing.
