It's not necessarily just the hardware spec and the drivers, though. I ran Linux on a Fujitsu convertible tablet/laptop circa 2010, which had a stylus that worked directly on the screen. The Wacom stylus worked great, as long as I was just using the laptop. But when I plugged in an external monitor, linux tried to apply the stylus across the entire combined screen area of the laptop screen and external screen. It was a relatively rare use-case, but wasn't an issue in Windows. I'm not blaming Linux, just wanting to point out that sometimes systematic issues are overlooked.
