You reminded me of something. I bought an USB oscilloscope and it's an old enough model that its manual describes installing the Windows XP driver from a CD... so I thought, okay, I'm not even gonna bother with it on my main Linux PC, let me just use an old laptop with Windows for it. I tried installing this driver for like an hour and couldn't make it work. It probably would work on XP but it was fucked on Windows 10.
Then I tried on Linux and found OpenHantek, a fully open source reimplementation...and it just works.
The one time I doubted my own judgement and decided to start with Window... I just learned I should never do it again.
