tbh printf() is easier a lot of times

debuggers are good and they have their place

also they're a pain in the rear end compared to printfs, plus a lot of time you need to reduce your optimization levels to get good-quality debug tracing

I'm writing a kernel module right now, and printk is way easier than trying to gdb that poo poo
