Linux is generally quite good about supporting old hardware and peripherals. More so than Windows. That's because most drivers aren't written by the companies that sold the hardware, they're written by the Linux developers themselves.

These days my computers are mostly a platform on which I run a web browser. Yes, I do other stuff - Visual Studio Code often enters the picture (which is built on Electron, which is just a repackaged web browser). I do some video editing with kdenlive, audio with Audacity, but 99.8% of anything I ever need to do can, and is, done with open-source software, so I'm on Linux Mint with xfce as a window manager. Everything JUST WORKS. It's great! I understand when people just can't make the switch to Linux because they use specific software that doesn't run on Linux, but I've been a full-time Windows and MacOS user in the past and I kept coming back to Linux because those platforms kept enshittifying. I'm done giving them chances.
