It sucks that peripheral manufacturers don't fully support Linux. I've given Linux Mint an honest and fair try and I like it for being distraction-free and unbloated as opposed to Windows. However, there are too many things that don't work in Linux, such as connecting an external VGA screen through an HDMI adaptor, or to configure a Logitech mouse. It's a deal breaker.

This article pretty much says it all:

I'm sorry to say that I totally agree with it. Linux is a lost case. But, as one commenter points out, so is Windows. Feels like operating systems on PC are hitting a dead end.

Linux supported hardware exist, so the choice is yours. I started buying Linux & Mac supported peripherals 5 years before finally switching. I avoided things like GDI printers even when it were the cheapest printers.

I can configure my Logitech mouse with Piper/ratbag, but yes, certain features are only possible on the disgusting Logitech app in Windows

@TerriToniAX i run linux on my desktop / laptop for like 10 years. I almost never had anything not working.

Just pick your hardware. If logitech doesn't work dont buy it

hell my mum used her ubuntu desktop for like 10 years. Never had an issue. She doesn't know much about computers but she's a secretary so she can do basic things with files and stuff and word edition and stuff I don't want to hear linux is complicated.
