Many devices require a driver on Windows. They are usually automatically detected in Linux and if they happen not to be, it might be difficult to set up.

  • Many devices require a driver on Windows. They are usually automatically detected in Linux and if they happen not to be, it might be difficult to set up.
  • In computing, a device driver or software driver is a computer program allowing higher-level computer programs to interact with a hardware device. A driver typically communicates with the device through the computer bus or communications subsystem to which the hardware connects. When a calling program invokes a routine in the driver, the driver issues commands to the device. Once the device sends data back to the driver, the driver may invoke routines in the original calling program. Drivers are hardware-dependent and operating-system-specific. They usually provide the interrupt handling required for any necessary asynchronous time-dependent hardware interface.
