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.

    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

        That would not work under Windows either, unless you install the extra proprietary app and he specifically talked about an out of the box experience. That implies basic functionality.
