Maybe it’s because I was last into linux more heavily 10+ years ago. But I am amazed at how distros work now. 15 year old wifi adapter that originally came with cd based drivers? Works perfectly without anything extra. Racing wheel i got on ebay? Works perfectly. Mouse, keyboard, tartarus, no issue. I am just very happy with how well linux has been working, and hopefully this will bring more people to make the switch. However, I have not had luck with vr (oculus. I hear index does better). Thats the one thing I do hope for more progress on.
It’s not luck. It’s hard work by a dedicated group of people who make it happen. 🙏
I look at https://linux-hardware.org/ before buying hardware, so it always works
I have yet to see the devices that don’t work in Linux (evidently, there are a few, but I’ve never used them, so there’s that).
Oh just try Internal HDMI Capture cards and you will find so many, even most of them, will not work under Linux at all.
