  • Depending on the situation there may be even older hardware/windows in use.

    At my last job there was a windows 2000 computer still in use until like 2 years ago. None of the motherboard connections were still being made anymore. None of the drivers for the specialized devices existed for anything newer. The computer was air gapped and a replacement machine was commissioned, but it was still there doing its thing until the HDD failed.



  • even Logitech peripherals will not “just work” on Linux

    I’m sorry, I did IT for years and still do it for friends if they make it worth the trouble. So, I have to ask, what the hell are you talking about?

    Pretty much every logitech paripheral has worked perfectly for me on both windows or linux. It’s a mouse and keyboard, generic drivers work perfectly fine. Hell, I use a trackball mouse and that works plig and play on linux. Hell, open up a new windows computer run through the setup then disconnect it from the internet then plug in a logitech keyboard. Look at the driver for it in windows, it will probably be “generic keyboard driver”. It’s a keyboard.
