    especially for professionals, most hardware requires special software for it to function properly and they don’t bother making it available for Linux.

    That’s entirely use case specific. CUDA is actually used more on Linux than on Windows (I don’t have data, but even Azure by Microsoft runs on Linux…) so for e.g. NVIDIA hardware for professionals the support is better there.

      It’s not. But I wasn’t referring to GPUs anyway, I was referring to peripherals. Audio equipment, drawing pads, cameras, etc.
