Context: this is a legit screenshot I took on my workplace around 1.5 years ago. Hopefully it's been patched by now? Completely ridiculous behavior

Ehh, Linux has better hardware flexibility than it used to, but there are still devices that don't have equivalent functionality with the drivers and software available for Linux. It might be a situation where you can code something yourself, but you may also need information from the manufacturer that they won't necessarily be forthcoming with. I've run into this with a Logitech mouse, but I'm betting there are other peripherals that will face the same issue.

Windows doesn't use system resources as efficiently, but there's a huge amount of software for it and it definitely lands on top of the pile for compatibility.

Also almost every tool/software has a windows version of it because it's just so widely used.

And yes, driver support for Linux is really unreliable.
