They were writing about external peripherals but tbf there are a lot of certain hardware scenarios where linux is objectively worse mainly due to proprietary hardware that either wasnt super popular, is a pain to reverse engineer, or both. Some samsung laptops, razer, the apple t2 laptops (though the apple silicon got much better support with asahi), etc

It’s not Linux’s fault, laptop manufacturers keep utilizing proprietary hardware that is completely undocumented and increasingly actively makes efforts to “protect users” from being able to install things (hp uefi locks, apple SIP, ms tpm nonsense, etc)

You don’t own your shittttttt even if you pay like 4 grand for itttttt

I was talking about external hardware such as peripherals. Stream Deck for example doesn't quite work on Linux
