On my Job I regularly have to install Windows PCs and sometimes even install the USB Drivers for Mouse and Keyboard to work. Why dont I have to do that on Linux ever? Seems weird not to have them installed on Windows.

I've had the opposite experience - nearly everything works out of the box on Windows, yet not even a Logitech mouse works on Linux unless I go find some third party tool to make it work.

A mouse that works instantly on XP (probably on Win95).

Logitech doesn't put their software to Linux, but all my Logitech dongles and wireless devices worked fine, just couldn't change their settings. But, there's this software that does everything you need and actually works better than Logi Options+ imo.

Oh sweet, I refuse to download Logitech's software so this is just what I needed
