Not my experience. I've had multiple old games and an old printer that just straight up didn't work under Windows. On Linux however (using wine for the windows exe's) it usually does run. Sometimes it does require some googling, but there's usually someone who tried it before.

Shouldn't window's compatibility mode solve most of those?

Should, yes, but I find it often doesn't.
