Driver is the part of the OS, as per standard academic definition of the operating system. Driver is required for the OS to abstract and manage hardware, which is one of reasons of having an OS in the first place. The sentence "not the OS problem but the driver" is nonsense.

Fairly. This is not a legacy system that you had to support and couldn't've updated, but a new install. What's wrong with this is explained in this answer. You could've been installing Server 2016 and use that for a file server. Or Linux, pretty all modern distros still fully support this hardware and with modern Samba you'll be able to join it to your domain and serve files in a manner that is indistinguishable from the Windows-based file server. You've chosen the most unreasonable way to solve this, and this is why it's genuine off topic here.

Could that be bots? Because edits clearly lack a minimal technical expertise, it's not just "non-technical user".

What should Server Fault do with questions about web hosting control panels?
I know this is ancient but have to answer to @voretaq7: the answer "You can't do that with webmin" might be good, but this is the kind of answers that get obsolete quicky. They may add some functionality so some "no" answer becomes wrong. They may remove some functionality, so some "do this way" answer becomes invalid. We can't track it here and we shouldn't. Such answers are best given by the front line support which we are not. So it seems the best is to not to attempt to cross-breed bears and bees, so to not to answer any questions about panels, or only answer with "ask your vendor".

That will somewhat defeat the idea of the strike. Stopping raising flags is one of the ways to gain an attention. I didn't sign the letter but I decided to stop doing here anything that doesn't have immediate benefit for myself (in the form of exercises I do when helping others).

Interestingly enough, there is no similar spam outburst on SuperUser, Unix&Linux SE and others. For me it looks like only ServerFault is shelled.

I mean, there is mention of Charcoal, which is doing a SmokeDetector, a machine that flagged these things automatically. But it is now participating in a moderator strike on the subject of AI-generated content policy, so probably it doesn't cast flags. That's how I understand the situation.
