Thanks for the links! Definitely interesting, and kind of annoying how hard it seems to be now :(

Would running a VM on top of windows and passing the device through to that be an option given your use-case? Could then run *nix or similar in there, and avoid the windows driver hell.

See my reply to fragmede, I hadn't thought of this but the friction for end users is quite high. Great idea regardless.
