I guess I’ve always been lucky with Windows, it has always resolved all my devices automagically. The only thing I need to manually install is the drivers for my UAD Octo card.

The last but one Linux Mint install I did didn’t even recognise the mouse and keyboard I had plugged in, haha! (The installer recognised them, but not the OS post install!) It turned out I needed a slightly different flavour of mint, but yeah, the average user might even throw in the towel at that point.
