- sph 4y agoThat's indeed what I was thinking of. WinModems were an absolute pain when I started using Linux two decades ago, often outright impossible to use unless you were running Windows, and adding a ton of CPU overhead. I wouldn't be surprised if we'll have the same situation again, with some laptop cameras that just won't work at all under Linux.
