To be fair, I haven't thought about the USB low-levei devices in years. Nowadays most things just work, and if they don't you do a quick lsusb to check it actually sees the device then you Google what package you need to install.

Yeah... compiling from source to get a kernel module loaded is a part of the past now. Though we still do it from time to time, for some obscure pieces of hardware (like my Microtek scanner 😒), but things just generally work out of the box.
