that's because new hardware is made to work for windows. Few companies care about linux drivers

>>autoex+(OP)
Almost any hardware you get today will have standard components with Linux support. Can you give some more examples of which companies and what components you're referring to?

There's a long list of devices that have problems with linux. The hardware I think I've seen the most complaints about are wifi/ethernet chipsets, printers/scanners, and spotty support for specific features like sensors, LED lights, and fan/cooling controls. Problems with video cards are far less common now than they used to be but I still see people having weird issues from time to time and sadly most of the firmware still contains closed source binary blobs.

RGB control is quite spotty. Finger print readers are almost entirely non functioning. Often webcams on brand new laptops do not work. Brightness control for OLED often doesn't work. Suspend and sleep still seems to be an issue, especially with something relating to "modern sleep" where the OS remains functional for things like internet access while sleeping.

I think largely these days people just plug less stuff in, printers, scanners, other odd gadgets are less common so its really just USB mass storage devices and video outputs getting physically plugged in. Otherwise everything else is controlled over wifi with a phone app.
