Or using any legacy hardware such as the playstation eyetoy camera, a usb keyboard with a built in piano keyboard, some old random TV tuner card

Then there's the hardware which windows only ever had 32bit drivers for, meaning even if you find the drivers on some obscure dodgy site they'll never work.

Then there's the whole bs of windows not allowing unsigned drivers.

None of these issues on Linux
