    I think game controllers, external sound card or external Ethernet they all use the same generic driver that Microsoft provide to them, and those devices can add their own functionality on top, but Linux can’t have that driver because it’s MS property

      You’d be surprised how many external sound cards will not function without their official driver, despite being class compliant on mac/linux.
