Fingerprint scanners maybe, and of course graphics drivers nonsense but webcams? I haven’t ever a webcam issue in 10+ years on any distro.

Nowadays so much is just some USB device that even on laptops so much ends up working out of the box

I stand corrected. Honestly disappointing that places like Intel aren't outright defaulting to OSS for newer drivers.
