Has anyone else just had great luck with Liux recognizing devices? (lemmy.world)

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.

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.

Yeah, I would think so, but again, I've never had hardware fail to work out of the box in Linux, and since I don't use internal capture cards, I guess I will not be affected any time soon.
