Got an example? Because my USB MIDI music keyboard controller, smart card reader, USB guitar/mic capture device, and printer are working just fine.

Chances are, if it’s a major brand, or following any sort of standard, it’s going to work out of the box. This used to be a problem in the 90s and early 2000s. Not so much anymore.

Preface: I’m now completely moved over to nixos and installing a bloody windows drive.

NaturalPoint did some nasty stuff to opentrack and we all suffered.

TLDR proprietary devices prefer proprietary drivers. Additionally any directX game that strains hardware pretty much requires windows or you pay in framerate. Experimental wine and proton can lose a lot of performance. Thankfully more development teams are supporting vulkan and native linux.
