It’s actually been the case for 20 years now. Same with lots of other devices.

Around 2008-ish I saw a Tesco-branded webcam for something like 5€. I was just in need of one, so I looked up if it’s not, by any chance Linux compatible. It was, right out of the box.

Same thing with Sony Ericsson phones of that era. Capable of lots of things, like Ethernet over USB or Mass Storage, but with Windows it all needed a massive and annoying driver package. Linux - plug and go.

Same with Bluetooth and lots of other things.

PSA: Yandex has the best reverse image search by a mile. It can even find Instagram posts.

Heyyyy that looks interesting.
