New webcam purchased. It was the cheapest one and it works out of the box on GNU/Linux.
This still amazes me as I cannot forget the struggle to make work almost any device on GNU/Linux on the ancient times. Now it's just a matter of connect them and use them.
It looks almost like some kind of magic but it's not. There's a lot of work of programmers spending their time helping to improve our beloved linux based systems. Thank you, guys.
@alejandrobdn Windows has this crazy pnp thing to make devices work that way and it's always blowing up. Instead on Linux you're expected to share driver source code and all the drivers for everything are lumped into the same code base. It sounds like something way too simple for how well it works.
This is why I don't think non-GPL OSes will ever be very popular, and even if they are the UX will be far worse.
