    You clearly have never tried flashing a microcontroller from a windows host. Have to scour the internet for some random ass driver to install.

    No such thing in Linux.

    Or you might never have tried using some random Ethernet usb adapter where windows doesn’t quite know what to do, if it doesn’t have an alternative connection to try and automatically download the drivers (not always finding them)

      Or using any legacy hardware such as the playstation eyetoy camera, a usb keyboard with a built in piano keyboard, some old random TV tuner card

      Then there’s the hardware which windows only ever had 32bit drivers for, meaning even if you find the drivers on some obscure dodgy site they’ll never work.

      Then there’s the whole bs of windows not allowing unsigned drivers.

      None of these issues on Linux
