    I agree with that for daily tasks it’s great and easy. It works until you try to connect an exotic device in the game or just use a external device most of the time you will have to do it manually or it will just doesn’t work.

      On the gripping hand, if you’re trying to connect an older external device, you’re more likely to get it working eventually under Linux (which usually keeps device drivers until they bit-rot out of the kernel tree) than Windows (whose drivers are version-specific and only get ported forward if the manufacturer thinks there’s money in it). Six of one, half-a-dozen of the other, as far as I’m concerned, and device setup is a thing you should only have to do rarely anyway.

        The peripherals were mostly dead before it reach the end of support in windows. It’s just plug and play for thousands of periphericals (gaming, music, etc…).
