I have a generic USB mouse that doesn't work even on present day Linux. Works just fine on Windows.

  Must be some terrible hardware because I haven't seen a USB mouse have OS-specific issues in two decades. I bet it's a $5 mouse from the turn of the millenium.

    It's a new one, made in China.

      New or old, it's not worth the price. The USB protocol for HID is a solved problem, if you have issues with that particular mouse and 99.99% of people do not, it's not a kernel issue, it's terrible hardware.
