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 had that experience yesterday.

I wanted to see if a old fingerprint reader I bought 6 or 7 years ago would work, wasn't expecting it to but lo and behold, it was in the fprint documentation as a supported device and once set up, worked without issue.

The Linux community fucking rules man. So many talented and hard working people make this stuff possible.
