Distribution choice makes a lot of difference, but they’re not wrong, manufacturers just don’t write drivers for Linux. Sure, we’ve got AMD, Intel, and even nVidia (fuck nVidia btw) writing theirs, but peripherals are way more hit or miss.
That’s only going to be solved with wider adoption.
True. It’s also a good idea to check for Linux compatibility before buying hardware. That’s an annoying extra step to do, and makes it harder for new users. But on the other hand, there are now more vendors including this info on their own, and a lot of hardware is pretty much standardized (like USB HID devices etc).
