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).

      That sounds like the dumbest bullshit ever. What kinda of mouse are we talking about that does not work with generic mouse drivers?!

        If I had to guess, the programmable extra buttons on a Logitech mouses.

        You need to configure them in the piece of shit Logitech software, that’s not supported on Linux
