      They’ve already nuked driver support for certain “unauthorized” 3rd party Xbox accessories out of windows 10 and higher, so this isn’t necessarily a solution for the average user either

          It may, but it would still require the driver for the device to be allowed to install on windows.

          First example that comes to mind is a bit older but the unauthorized replicas of the Xbox 360 wireless adapters can no longer be used with Windows 10+ without the following steps

          1. unpacking the driver
          2. modifying the signature and device version it reports
          3. disabling driver signing
          4. Installing the newly modified driver
          5. Re-enabling driver signing

        Same vendor, doing ugly things like always. I say Draugr OS or Chimera OS. Even Space Engineers runs now and with better FPS too.

        Just wanted to mention that Linux has great support for almost any hardware. You don’t even have to install drivers, thanks to its monolithic kernel.

          This is true, but my comment was for the average user. I run Linux on a couple systems (not including my servers), but if I put my partner infront of it, I’d be providing support every day for a year. It’s far better than it used to be but outside of steamos, I don’t think it’s “average user” ready yet

            That sounds like a good deal, one year of tech support to get your partner to use Linux, I would immediately do it
